Forecasts

Tommy Taylor (9/4), Von Blucher (7/2), Ventura Ocean (13/2), Ower Fly (8/1), Musharrif (17/2), Key To Power (9/1), Sandra's Secret (10/1), Reflektor (14/1)

Verdict

This could be fast and furious if Sandra's Secret is lit up by a visor, and it could pay to stick with the finishers, with VON BLUCHER preferred to Tommy Taylor after a better effort last time. He's well handicapped on last year's form and will relish a test at this trip. Key To Power is thriving on a busy schedule, and makes most appeal of the likely pace-setters.
  1. Von Blucher
  2. Key To Power
  3. Tommy Taylor
