Forecasts

Renaissance Man (11/4), Donquerari (3/1), Princekresh (3/1), Stanley Park (8/1), Princess Tea (9/1), Sabatini (9/1), Valiente (9/1), Will O Me (16/1), Lebanese Pound (28/1)

Verdict

RENAISSANCE MAN was slightly disappointing when favourite last time out, but is taken to make the most of this opening. Valiente is the percentage call to finish runner-up, while Donquerari shouldn't be discarded.

  1. Renaissance Man11/4
  2. Valiente9/1
  3. Donquerari3/1
