Forecasts

Global Giant (10/11), Marie's Diamond (7/2), San Donato (4/1), My Oberon (7/1), Solid Stone (10/1), Forest Of Dean (12/1)

Verdict

GLOBAL GIANT has to be considered the one to beat on the back of his easy Kempton win last month. San Donato has finished third in the French 2000 Guineas and second to Mohaather in an Ascot Group 2 on his reappearance runs in 2019 and 2020 so he'll likely be primed for a bold bid. My Oberon is another interesting contender in a good renewal of this Group 3 prize.
