Forecasts

Altior (1/1), Rouge Vif (9/2), Sceau Royal (9/2), Duc Des Genievres (13/2), Nube Negra (20/1), Global Citizen (20/1)

Things didn't go to plan for ALTIOR last season and he's not getting any younger, but he was well on top at the finish when landing the Game Spirit on his latest start in February and should prove very hard to beat. Duc Des Genievres and Sceau Royal, second and third respectively in this race 12 months ago, may again fill the places, though Rouge Vif is also likely to play a part.
