Forecasts

Vauban (4/6), Valiant King (10/3), Peking Opera (13/2), Layfayette (10/1), Pivotal Trigger (22/1), Gooloogong (28/1), Safecracker (40/1), Sunchart (50/1)

Verdict

Having established himself as a high-class hurdler, VAUBAN turned a Royal Ascot handicap into a one-sided affair back on the level and his claims are fairly obvious on these terms. Valiant King is a 3-y-o on the up so demands respect, along with Layfayette.
