Forecasts

Shanroe (15/8), Stratum (9/4), Dawn Rising (3/1), Mt Leinster (10/3), M C Muldoon (5/1), Almuhit (10/1), Effernock Fizz (12/1), Kottayam (50/1)

Verdict

STRATUM was behind Dawn Rising in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot last time but he's on better terms with that rival now and cheekpieces could spark him back into life, so he gets the marginal vote. Mt Leinster, a stablemate of the selection, is a big danger.

  1. STRATUM
