Forecasts

Helvetique (11/8), Bibulous (7/2), Lordsbridge Boy (13/2), Thornaby Pearl (7/1), Kingofhell (9/1), Definitive Force (9/1), Mumayaz (16/1), Sir Gregory (18/1), Tar Heel (20/1), Torvi (22/1), Saatty (22/1), Fighting Temeraire (40/1)

HELVETIQUE took her form up a notch when scoring in first-time blinkers at Windsor last week and looks weighted to go in again under a 6 lb penalty with the headgear wisely retained. Thornaby Pearl is feared most on the back of his good Ripon second, although Bibulous made an encouraing return after an absence when third at Chepstow and can have a say too.
