Forecasts

Aimeric (11/4), Wor Willie (11/2), Polyphonic (6/1), Molinari (17/2), Kihavah (9/1), It's Good To Laugh (9/1), Fairmac (12/1), Glasses Up (14/1), El Picador (14/1), Annandale (22/1), Brasca (22/1), Detective (25/1), Heights Of Abraham (40/1), Monsieur Lambrays (40/1), Kondo Isami (150/1)

Having bolted up at Carlisle, POLYPHONIC shaped best at Haydock 16 days ago, so this progressive 3yo gets the narrow vote to resume winning ways in quite a hot contest. Wor Willie is bang in form and merits respect in his hat-trick bid, while a strong pace would bring both Molinari and Detective into the reckoning.
