Forecasts

Rosallion (4/5), Iberian (3/1), Sunway (6/1), Mountain Bear (7/1), Power Mode (50/1)

Verdict

Hard to oppose ROSALLION, who looked potentially very smart when slamming his rivals in the Pat Eddery at Ascot. Iberian was still green when runner-up in the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood and is a clear next best.
