Forecasts

Cuban Breeze (3/1), Roman Dragon (7/2), Princess Shabnam (5/1), Aberama Gold (11/2), Whenthedealinsdone (6/1), Paws For Thought (8/1), Absolutelyflawless (9/1), Hello Zabeel (11/1), Bear Profit (14/1), Hyperfocus (16/1)

Verdict

Little between the principals in a useful sprint but ABERAMA GOLD arrives at the top of his game and with his Hamilton success having been franked so edges the vote. Whenthedealinsdone has slipped to a handy mark so is feared most having got back on track at Windsor last time. Hello Zabeel is another who can't be taken lightly in his bid for a third success since joining Charlie Fellowes and Ripon scorer Hyperfocus completes the shortlist.

  1. ABERAMA GOLD
  2. WHENTHEDEALINSDONE
  3. HELLO ZABEEL (IRE)
