Forecasts

Paloma Blue (3/1), Timoteo (7/2), Kildorrery (5/1), Us And Them (13/2), Demain Des L'Aube (9/1), Impact Factor (11/1), Snugsborough Hall (11/1), Or Jaune De Somoza (20/1), Yaha Fizz (20/1), Game Of War (22/1), Bel Ami De Sivola (33/1)

Gordon Elliott is seeking a hat-trick in this race and TIMOTEO could be up to providing it after shaping quite encouragingly on his recent comeback run for his new stable. Kildorrery acquitted himself quite well in Grade 2 company last time and is respected back in a handicap. Paloma Blue may prove best of the rest.
