Forecasts

Londoner (2/1), Western Cape (4/1), Golden Temple (5/1), Rattle And Hum (7/1), Kadeen (11/1), Cape Bridgewater (14/1), Cervetto (14/1), Semantics (22/1), Emotivo (25/1), Atlantic Charter (33/1), Tabuk (33/1), Pinot Grigio (33/1), The Winker (33/1), As Fast As Wind (40/1), Turbo Sprint (40/1), Show No Fear (40/1), Rio Largo (125/1)

Aidan O'Brien's LONDONER could easily leave his first run behind and is taken to improve past Golden Temple, who didn't run very well on turf last time but shaped well over C&D prior to that. Rattle And Hum may prove next best, while the selection's stablemate Cape Bridgewater would also enter the reckoning if getting a run.
