Forecasts

Sir Laurence Graff (85/40), New Dayrell (5/2), The Parent (11/4), Ramensky (10/1), Gozo (14/1), Galactic Jack (16/1), It's All About You (16/1), Ajjaj (20/1), Steven Seagull (200/1)

SIR LAURENCE GRAFF is bred to be smart and he would have finished closer than fourth had he not been hampered at Haydock 3 weeks ago. Sure to progress for his top yard, he looks the way to go. New Dayrell sets the standard on his third-placed finish at Sandown, with Ramensky a newcomer to note.
