Forecasts

Sextant (5/4), Almost Midnight (3/1), Anythingtoday (5/1), Hyanna (11/2), Gossip Column (14/1), Protected Guest (25/1)

A 6¼L defeat by now 113-rated Dashing Willoughby in the Queen's Vase latest leads ALMOST MIDNIGHT to look well handicapped off an opening mark of 90 and as a dual winner already in four career races there is more substance than just that one notable effort so he is fancied here. Sextant is a progressive sort for Sir Michael Stoute and like the selection boasts an excellent 50 per-cent strike rate. Hat-trick seeker Anythingtoday is far more exposed than the aforementioned duo but in too good form to ignore.
