Forecasts

Fox Journey (15/8), Two Brothers (13/2), Haseefah (15/2), Tamilla (15/2), Wootton'sun (8/1), Geremia (8/1), Fairmac (17/2), Carrigillihy (11/1), Derry Lad (14/1), Bollin Margaret (14/1), Demilion (18/1)

Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to FOX JOURNEY, who left previous efforts behind when making a successful reappearance/handicap debut at Newmarket last month, and with this extra distance sure to play to his strengths, Sir Michael Stoute's 3-y-o is taken to double his tally. Wootton'sun has returned in top form, so he could be the one to chase the selection home, with Derry Lad and Two Brothers also considered.

  1. FOX JOURNEY

  3. DERRY LAD (IRE)
