Forecasts

Coquelicot (6/5), Beny Nahar Road (10/3), Blazeon Five (6/1), Royaume Uni (8/1), Cogital (9/1), Ehteyat (10/1), Diamand De Vindecy (14/1), Haliphon (16/1), Monsieur Lambrays (40/1)

Verdict

EHTEYAT disappointed last time but he'd shown notable improvement prior to that following a gelding operation and, with the return to turf unlikely to pose a problem, he's worth another chance in first-time cheekpieces. Royaume Uni ought to be up to doing some damage from his current mark in this sphere so is second choice, while Coquelicot and Beny Nahar Road are two other potential threats.

  1. EHTEYAT (GER)
  2. ROYAUME UNI (IRE)
  3. COQUELICOT (FR)
