Forecasts

La Bague Au Roi (2/1), Jarveys Plate (2/1), Amalfi Doug (6/1), Bigmartre (7/1), Very First Time (10/1), Bafana Blue (12/1), Red Giant (14/1), Elmono (16/1), Sutton Manor (66/1)

Verdict

LA BAGUE AU ROI is used to keeping better company than this and is taken to defy top weight under suitable conditions. Jarveys Plate won on his reappearance last season and is on a fair mark on that run, so rates the main threat for his in-form yard. Race-fit pair Bafana Blue and Elmono both arrive in good heart and need considering, too.

  1. LA BAGUE AU ROI (FR)
  2. JARVEYS PLATE (IRE)
  3. BAFANA BLUE
