Forecasts

Dawn Rising (2/1), Run For Oscar (3/1), Stratum (9/2), The Grand Visir (9/1), Typewriter (10/1), Falcon Eight (10/1), Goshen (14/1), Coltor (20/1), First Emperor (20/1), Estacas (40/1)

Verdict

DAWN RISING has displayed plenty of talent over hurdles and is firmly expected to improve for this longer trip, so he takes marginal preference over Stratum, who is going for a hat-trick in this. Falcon Eight has plenty of class and should come on for his rather laboured effort in the Chester Cup.
