Forecasts

Stay Away Fay (3/1), Capodanno (7/2), The Real Whacker (7/2), Datsalrightgino (5/1), Royale Pagaille (6/1), Ahoy Senor (10/1)

Claims can be made for all 6 but DATSALRIGHTGINO surely has more to offer over this sort of trip having raised his game significantly to win the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury and he's already proven at this level having won a Grade 2 novice at Ayr in the spring. He shades the vote over exciting novice Stay Away Fay and fellow Festival winner The Real Whacker.
