Forecasts

Flying Standard (7/2), Stiletto (4/1), Sky Legend (11/2), Psyche (7/1), Blazon (9/1), Smith (11/1), Delphinus (14/1), Bird For Life (14/1), Blazeon Five (16/1), Tin Fandango (18/1), Anisoptera (20/1), London Eye (33/1), Guilty Party (66/1)

This finale may go to TIN FANDANGO who is down to a mark he's capable of going very close from. Psyche is likely to be a threat if his stamina holds now tackling 2m for the first time on the Flat. Flying Standard and course-specialist Blazon complete the shortlist.
