Forecasts

Knight In Dubai (5/2), Fanion D'estruval (3/1), Palmers Hill (10/3), Phoenix Way (7/1), Amour de Nuit (7/1), Killer Clown (17/2), Golden Whisky (14/1), Larry (22/1)

Verdict

PALMERS HILL has always looked pretty talented when giving his running and with this step back up in distance sure to suit, he looks the pick at the weights. Fanion d'Estruval was very impressive at Newbury and a conditional takes a handy 7 lb off, with Killer Clown another to consider in a cracking contest.

  1. PALMERS HILL (IRE)
  2. FANION D'ESTRUVAL (FR)
  3. KILLER CLOWN (IRE)
