Forecasts

Perotto (9/2), Magic Memories (9/2), Cicero's Gift (11/2), Metal Merchant (7/1), Dual Identity (15/2), Classic (15/2), Holloway Boy (10/1), Two Tempting (11/1), Point Lynas (16/1), Silent Film (33/1)

Verdict

Last month's C&D handicap coupled with the Royal Hunt Cup look the key pieces of form. CLASSIC split Two Tempting and Dual Identity in the former race but really should have won and is selected to gain compensation. Metal Merchant was second in his group in the latter race so needs treating as though still in top form, with Perotto also of serious interest.

  1. CLASSIC
  2. METAL MERCHANT (IRE)
  3. PEROTTO
