Forecasts

Tunbridge Wells (11/8), The Strikin Viking (7/2), Principality (4/1), Arizona Blaze (6/1), Henri Matisse (8/1), The Parthenon (20/1), Red Evolution (20/1)

Verdict

TUNBRIDGE WELLS ran out an impressive winner when beating subsequent Queen Mary runner-up Mighty Eriu over C&D here earlier this month so looks the one to beat. Marble Hill winner Arizona Blaze is an obvious threat if fully recovered from his good third at Royal Ascot, while The Strikin Viking must be respected having made all in a good time in a maiden at York.

  1. TUNBRIDGE WELLS (IRE)
  2. ARIZONA BLAZE
  3. THE STRIKIN VIKING (IRE)
