Forecasts

Poet Master (3/1), Kathab (11/2), Hafeet Alain (6/1), Isle Of Jura (13/2), Helm Rock (7/1), Bodorgan (15/2), Sudden Ambush (12/1), Dawn Of Liberation (14/1), Fantastic Fox (14/1), Diamondonthehill (20/1), Harswell Duke (20/1), Starshiba (28/1), Freedom Day (33/1), Billyb (33/1), The Turpinator (40/1), System (50/1)

Verdict

ISLE OF JURA had so much in hand at Newmarket last time that even a 14 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick with further improvement very much on the cards. Hafeet Alain has struck up a good partnership with Connor Planas in recent months and is second choice ahead of the very promising Poet Master.

  1. ISLE OF JURA
  2. HAFEET ALAIN (IRE)
  3. POET MASTER (IRE)
