Forecasts

Golden Shot (7/4), Campaign Trail (11/4), Alnilam (11/2), Tuddenham Green (17/2), Mothill (12/1), Quantum Leap (12/1), Seahouses (14/1), Secret Shadow (16/1), Cormier (20/1), C'mon Kenny (22/1), Capone (40/1), First Emperor (40/1), Blistering Barney (80/1), Red Force One (125/1), Grand Scheme (125/1)

Verdict

Plenty with chances but it's impossible to side against GOLDEN SHOT who still looks ahead of his mark under a 5 lb penalty for his wide-margin Ffos Las victory and also remains unexposed over staying trips. Both Alnilam and Quantum Leap have better days ahead of them too and can chase home Sir Mark Prescott's upwardly-mobile stayer in that order. Campaign Trail completes the shortlist.

  1. GOLDEN SHOT
  2. ALNILAM (FR)
  3. QUANTUM LEAP
