Forecasts

Big Evs (13/8), Asfoora (11/4), Believing (7/1), Jasour (8/1), Starlust (10/1), Live In The Dream (12/1), Makarova (14/1), Ponntos (16/1), Moss Tucker (16/1), Kerdos (18/1), Desperate Hero (18/1), Rogue Lightning (20/1), Sturlasson (125/1)

Verdict

A return to a sharper 5f might see BIG EVS turn the tables on his Royal Ascot conqueror Asfoora. Ponntos, who has been in the form of his life lately, and King Charles fourth Believing are others likely to play a prominent role in a cracking renewal of this Group 2.
