Forecasts

Tiaraqueen (2/1), Sisyphean (9/4), Moon Man (6/1), Drink Dry (8/1), Keep Warm (17/2), Titainium (17/2), Golden Pharaoh (16/1), Bits And Bobs (16/1), Georgie Wooster (25/1), Apocalyx (28/1)

Verdict

DRINK DRY was impressive when scoring at Beverley last time and the form is backed up by the time, so he gets the marginal vote over Tiaraqueen, whose Wetherby success has been boosted in no uncertain terms by the winner. Titainium has more to offer, particularly now upped in trip, so he's another one to consider.
