Forecasts

Russian Virtue (10/3), Bridge Road (4/1), Bahtiyar (11/2), Silkstone (6/1), Bushmill Boy (8/1), Edgar Allan Poe (17/2), Fearless Action (9/1), El Jefe (11/1), Wakey Wakey (28/1), Agent Empire (33/1), Calculus (50/1), Blame The Farrier (100/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but BRIDGE ROAD still looks handily weighted with the form of his recent Wetherby third working out well so he edges the vote. Russian Virtue is thriving under the tutelage of Rebecca Menzies and rates a big threat, while hat-trick seeking Silkstone and in-form duo Bushmill Boy and Bahtiyar can have a say too.
