Forecasts

Frere d'Armes (2/1), Pay The Piper (5/1), Elixir De Nutz (6/1), Hasankey (13/2), Return Ticket (15/2), Malystic (8/1), Coastguard Station (9/1), Baron De Midleton (10/1), Gold Des Bois (18/1), Ardera Cross (80/1)

Verdict

FRERE D'ARMES was beaten only by a subsequent winner when going for the hat-trick at Ascot 3 weeks ago and remains one to keep on the right side of. Hasankey and Pay The Piper both shaped better than the bare result in the Red Rum at Aintree recently so are potential threats along with last year's winner Return Ticket.

  1. FRERE D'ARMES (FR)
  2. HASANKEY (IRE)
  3. PAY THE PIPER (IRE)
