Forecasts

Imperial Cult (10/3), River Alwen (10/3), Mrembo (4/1), Early Morning Dew (13/2), Martin Spirit (13/2), Corporate Raider (9/1), Remarkable Flight (16/1), Lawn Ranger (20/1), Star Of Epsom (25/1), Nasim (28/1), Rainbow Sign (33/1)

Verdict

Having scored by a wide margin at Lingfield last month, IMPERIAL CULT followed up with something to spare there a week later and is worth a chance to complete the hat-trick returning to turf. Corporate Raider and Early Morning arrive in good order and strike as feasible dangers.

  1. IMPERIAL CULT (IRE)
  2. CORPORATE RAIDER (IRE)
  3. EARLY MORNING DEW (FR)
