Forecasts

Time Interval (5/4), Lady Pendragon (4/1), Kentucky Kingdom (9/2), Fox Leicester (5/1), Eaglesglen (16/1), Austriana (18/1), Engrave (25/1), Promises (25/1)

TIME INTERVAL's progress has come in stops and starts but he looked suited by the step up to this trip and a change of tactics when making all at Leicester 2 weeks ago and he's low enough mileage to think that he has not reached his limit yet. Eaglesglen took a step back in the right direction here last time and is next best ahead of Lady Pendragon.
