Forecasts

Siskin (10/11), Monarch Of Egypt (6/4), Royal Lytham (9/2), Mount Fuji (25/1), Think Big (50/1)

This looks a great opportunity for the prolific Keane-Lyons duo to gain a greatly deserved first Group One together with SISKIN who can confirm himself as one of the best two-year-olds in Europe with success. Conquered by the selection latest but still Ballydoyle number one, Monarch Of Egypt can get closer here given he is a race behind Siskin so more open to improvement. Royal Lytham could very easily prove the biggest danger to the selection, his July stakes win latest is form close to that registered by Siskin in the Railway.
