Forecasts

Stay Away Fay (5/2), Idalko Bihoue (4/1), Grand Soir (9/2), Maximilian (13/2), Twig (15/2), Hurricane Bay (16/1), Mahons Glory (20/1), Park This One (22/1), The Wounded Knee (25/1), Rock On Cowboy (66/1)

Verdict

This can go the way of STAY AWAY FAY, who looked all about stamina when making a winning start under Rules at Newbury a couple of months ago and Paul Nicholls' charge is fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride. Grand Soir arrives chasing a 4-timer so he may emerge as the main danger, with Idalko Bihoue and The Wounded Knee another couple worth considering.

  1. STAY AWAY FAY (IRE)
  2. GRAND SOIR (FR)
  3. IDALKO BIHOUE (FR)
