Forecasts

Juan Elcano (5/4), Thunderous (11/8), Sun Power (15/8), Frankel's Storm (6/1), Pyledriver (7/1), Sesame Birah (16/1)

The Frankel colt JUAN ELACANO brings the best form into the race courtesy of his fine second place in Group 2 company at HQ last time. A repetition of that run would probably be good enough to score here. There are plenty of dangers, including Sun Power, only narrowly beaten at Ascot last time in similar company and a rock solid yardstick, whille Thunderous looks the better of Mark Johnston's pair and is still unexposed. Likewise, Pyledriver is an unknown quantity and is respected, and Sesame Birrah cannot be ruled out, especially if the ground eases.
