Forecasts

East Asia (11/5), Dancing Harry (9/2), Mr Chua (11/2), Solar Screen (13/2), Tigerten (10/1), Al Kout (11/1), Prince Imperial (14/1), Orin Swift (25/1), Platitude (33/1), Where's Tom (33/1), Clongowes (40/1), Neverbeen To Paris (40/1), Be My Sea (50/1)

Verdict

EAST ASIA had a fair bit in hand when making a successful start for the Ian Williams stable at Newbury a week ago and could take a bit of stopping under a 5 lb penalty if seeing out the longer trip. Solar Screen, Prince Imperial and Orin Swift are quite closely matched on recent course form and head the dangers.
