Forecasts

Mr Grey Sky (11/8), Coolnaugh Haze (3/1), Black Poppy (7/2), A Distant Place (5/1), Vocal Duke (6/1), Destrier (9/1), River Bray (20/1), Chaptal (33/1), Duca De Thaix (125/1)

This could be strong form for the grade with the vote going to BLACK POPPY, who cashed in on a lenient opening mark last time and a 5 lb rise ought not to prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Coolnaugh Haze is also open to improvement while Destrier is more exposed but shaped as though back in good nick at Lingfield.
