Forecasts

The Goat (13/8), Real Dream (18/5), Bague D'or (4/1), Quantum Leap (11/2), Rhythmic Intent (11/1), Legendary Day (12/1), Island Brave (14/1), Oneforthegutter (33/1)

Verdict

BAGUE D'OR is a lightly-raced 5-y-o who proved he retains all his ability on first outing for James Ferguson after 13 months off when runner-up at York recently and, with the step back up in trip sure to suit (unexposed at 1¾m), he gets the nod to come out on top. The Goat should find these conditions a bit more suitable than at York and is also of strong interest being the only 3-y-o in the field, while Real Dream remains with potential having been unsuited by a change of tactics in the Ebor.

  1. BAGUE D'OR (IRE)
  2. THE GOAT
  3. REAL DREAM (IRE)
