Forecasts

Dear My Friend (7/2), Symbol Of Light (7/2), Helm Rock (9/2), Fantastic Fox (13/2), Tempus (8/1), Lord Bertie (10/1), Master Zoffany (14/1), Light Speed (14/1), Ron O (16/1), Urban Sprawl (16/1), Chuzzlewit (18/1), Gincident (25/1), Tropez Power (33/1), Woodstock City (33/1)

Verdict

SYMBOL OF LIGHT was unlucky not to win at Kempton 6 weeks ago and can make amends off the same mark. Master Zoffany arrives on the back of a career-best win here so is next best ahead of Fantastic Fox, who wasn't seen to best effect when going for the hat-trick at Chelmsford.

  2. MASTER ZOFFANY (IRE)
  3. FANTASTIC FOX
