Forecasts

Churchill (8/11), Eminent (3/1), Cliffs Of Moher (9/1), Poet's Word (10/1), Zhukova (10/1), Decorated Knight (25/1), Moonlight Magic (33/1), Success Days (40/1), Taj Mahal (50/1), The Grey Gatsby (66/1)

Verdict

Churchill is likely to prove popular in the betting market and others would have to improve markedly to beat him on good or fast ground but with some rain forecast, SUCCESS DAYS may be worth chancing if conditions turn soft. Ken Condon's charge produced a gutsy performance to land a Group 2 at York last time out and he's run well here before. Sole mare in the race, Zhukova is another who is likely to want some rain to fall and is the first-string for Dermot Weld's stable.
