Forecasts

Malc (10/3), Purosangue (7/2), Mountain Bear (11/2), Chief Mankato (11/2), Thunder Blue (13/2), Lake Forest (7/1), Jasour (16/1), Maximum Impact (18/1), Toca Madera (40/1)

Verdict

Preference is for MOUNTAIN BEAR, who is in top hands and remains open to improvement on the back of his maiden success at the Curragh last month. Norfolk Stakes runner-up Malc is feared most with the step up in trip likely to be in his favour, whilst Purosangue hails from a yard whose juveniles tend to come on plenty from their first outing and is also much respected.
