Forecasts

Beyond Equal (9/4), Rose Hip (3/1), Kool Moe Dee (10/3), Lomu (11/2), Newyorkstateofmind (13/2), Coronation Cottage (20/1)

ROSE HIP made it six career victories last time at Windsor, and all of them have been with Tom Marquand in the saddle. The pair should go very close in their bid to follow up under a 4 lb higher mark. Beyond Equal is a course winner and he's fairly consistent so has to be respected. Newyorkstateofmind can't be ruled out either.
