Forecasts

True Courage (2/1), Lexington Knight (9/4), Sarsons Risk (11/4), Genesius (11/2), Zuba (18/1)

Verdict

LEXINGTON KNIGHT is on a much-reduced mark and shaped like a return to form was imminent when third at Newmarket last time, so he's fancied to get the better of True Courage who has scored over C&D before and shaped nicely at Ascot last time. Genesius isn't completely ruled out.

  1. LEXINGTON KNIGHT (IRE)
  2. TRUE COURAGE
  3. GENESIUS (IRE)
