Forecasts

Harappan (8/13), Swift Hawk (7/4), Royal Max (14/1), Renoir (33/1), Truth Will Out (33/1)

Verdict

Hard to look beyond HARAPPAN who outran his odds on debut at Newcastle and looks open to improvement after a quick trainer change. Swift Hawk is next best on form but more exposed. while Nicky Henderson's Royal Max has shown a bit over hurdles and can't be discounted on Flat debut, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.

  1. HARAPPAN (USA)
  2. SWIFT HAWK
  3. ROYAL MAX (FR)
