Forecasts

Red Poppy (10/3), Motamayiz (18/5), Molinari (5/1), Colonize (11/2), Gold Ribbon (8/1), Frankly Mr Shankly (10/1), Kimberley (10/1), La Foglietta (12/1), Willingly (25/1), Top Drop (50/1)

Verdict

MOTAMAYIZ conceded both a positional advantage and first run to a subsequent winner when runner-up on his first attempt at this trip at Yarmouth last month and is taken to go one better. Red Poppy is going the right way and rates the main threat ahead of Molinari, who had excuses at Sandown.

  1. MOTAMAYIZ
  2. RED POPPY
  3. MOLINARI (IRE)
