Forecasts

Lope Y Fernandez (11/8), Guildsman (5/1), Fort Myers (6/1), Arranmore (7/1), Celtic Beauty (8/1), Brunelle (12/1), Ventura Lightning (14/1), Zarzyni (16/1), Mount Fuji (16/1), Cool Vixen (20/1), Back To Brussels (25/1), Prince Of Naples (33/1), Air Force Jet (33/1), Johan Zoffani (50/1)

Verdict

GUILDSMAN was a fine third in the Coventry before everything went wrong for him at Goodwood, and he makes a little more appeal at this trip than Lope Y Fernandez, who is dropping back from seven furlongs. Fort Myers was a length behind the selection in the Coventry, and should be on the premises if excused a blip in the Railway Stakes here last time.
