Forecasts

Night Eagle (9/2), Nonsuch Lad (5/1), Niarbyl Bay (7/1), Mrembo (7/1), Beautiful Crown (15/2), Lawn Ranger (11/1), Olympicus (12/1), Glen Again (12/1), Sarkha (12/1), Sea Of Charm (18/1), Come On John (18/1), The Conqueror (25/1), Whitcombe Rockstar (28/1), Kentucky Kingdom (50/1), He's Our Star (80/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for lots of these but the most persuasive one is for NIGHT EAGLE who ran out a stylish winner at Epsom and rates the pick of these weights turned out under a 5 lb penalty. C&D scorer Nonsuch Lad heads the list of dangers, although in-form pair Olympicus and Beautiful Crown can also have a say. Mrembo completes the shortlist.

  1. NIGHT EAGLE (IRE)
  2. NONSUCH LAD (IRE)
