Forecasts

Auguste Rodin (11/10), White Birch (15/8), Lumiere Rock (8/1), Elegant Man (10/1), Mashhoor (25/1), Lord Massusus (28/1), Hans Andersen (33/1), Crypto Force (40/1)

Verdict

If AUGUSTE RODIN is on one of his going days he'll be hard to stop. Elegant Man jumps from a handicap to a Group 1 but it was some performance from him to defy a mark of 108 at Newcastle on Good Friday and he's feared more than White Birch, a winner of 2 pattern events over C&D already this season.

  1. AUGUSTE RODIN (IRE)
  2. ELEGANT MAN (USA)
  3. WHITE BIRCH
