Forecasts

Glenfinnan (4/6), Maasai Mara (5/2), Vaguely Royal (6/1), Charlatan (18/1), Aussie Mystic (33/1), Almarin (66/1), God Of Fire (66/1)

GLENFINNAN left his debut form well behind despite still showing signs of inexperience when runner-up in the most valuable maiden of the year at York (7f) 4 weeks ago and he sets a high standard. Maasai Mara showed plenty to work on at Newmarket so is feared most, with his stablemate Vaguely Royal making most appeal of the newcomers.
