Forecasts

Vauban (11/8), Tower Of London (13/8), Grosvenor Square (17/2), Shamida (9/1), Kinesiology (10/1), Gasper De Lemos (16/1), Crypto Force (16/1), Dancing Tango (25/1), Raise You (28/1), Eastern Legend (66/1), Seattle Creek (200/1), Aircraft Carrier (300/1)

Verdict

TOWER OF LONDON is the form pick and might not have reached his limit, so he's fancied to dispell a poor run in the Yorkshire Cup and get back to winning ways. Vauban is an obvious danger having hit the frame in the Gold Cup and Shamida is an interesting one on reappearance.

  1. TOWER OF LONDON (IRE)
  2. VAUBAN (FR)
  3. SHAMIDA (IRE)
