Forecasts

Harbour Wind (6/5), London City (9/4), Serious Challenge (7/1), Dancing Tango (12/1), Esquiline (12/1), Sunchart (14/1), Perfect Portrait (22/1), Vischio (40/1)

Verdict

LONDON CITY's form is on an upward curve so Aidan O'Brien's Justify colt can take this step up in class in his stride and complete his hat-trick. The returning Harbour Wind has the form to play a big part and is next best ahead of in-form pair Serious Challenge and Esquiline.

  1. LONDON CITY (USA)
  2. HARBOUR WIND (IRE)
  3. SERIOUS CHALLENGE (IRE)
