Forecasts

Imperial Measure (13/8), Sailed Away (5/2), Gyllen (9/2), Atreides (15/2), Wilderness (11/1), King Of Lombardy (20/1), Caitlin's Court (20/1), Nathan Walker (25/1), Haafbourd (33/1), I Love You Sivola (40/1), Bowmans Dream (100/1)

Verdict

IMPERIAL MEASURE arrives at the top of his game and looks the way to go with the form of his recent Exeter third proving really strong. Sailed Away rates much the biggest danger on the back of a promising Fakenham second when reunited with Stuart Edmunds. In-form maidens Gyllen and Atreides need considering for place purposes.

  1. IMPERIAL MEASURE (IRE)
  2. SAILED AWAY (GER)
  3. GYLLEN (USA)
