Forecasts

Purplepay (1/1), Rumbles Of Thunder (9/2), Lily Pond (8/1), Seisai (8/1), Potapova (12/1), Galleria Borghese (16/1), One For Bobby (18/1), Sierra Nevada (20/1), The Algarve (50/1)

PURPLEPAY was far from disgraced stepped up in trip when fifth in the Pretty Polly here 3 weeks ago and will be suited this shorter distance. Already a Group 2 winner at Chantilly this season, she can defy a penalty back at this grade. Potapova is feared most back on turf ahead of Rumbles of Thunder.
