Forecasts

Like A Tiger (3/1), Golden Move (10/3), Rajasthan (5/1), Rogue Sea (6/1), Regal Empire (13/2), Satin (9/1), Struth (11/1), Intinso (14/1), Golden Maverick (14/1), Sovereign Spirit (18/1), French Invasion (25/1), Scintillante (25/1)

Verdict

GOLDEN MOVE relished the step up to this distance when opening his account on handicap debut at Doncaster last time and a well-run race should bring further improvement out of him, so he gets the narrow vote in what looks a competitive affair. Satin also arrives on the up and is feared most, while Rajasthan appeals as the type to benefit from a step up to this distance, so he also makes the shortlist.

  1. GOLDEN MOVE
  2. RAJASTHAN
  3. SATIN
