Forecasts

Global Tour (4/5), Micras (3/1), Raving Bonkers (6/1), Oenophile (14/1), The Final Whistle (14/1), Camlad Kingfisher (20/1), Right Royals Day (20/1), Matravers (25/1), Chance It (40/1)

GLOBAL TOUR was impressive on his latest start over a slightly longer trip than this, however, he can defy his penalty over this distance where he could be chased home by Micras and Oenophile.
