Forecasts

Warnie (10/11), State's Evidence (7/4), Harry The Rogue (13/2), Cill Mocheallog (7/1), Vangelis (16/1), Chou Chou (16/1), Captain Maverick (28/1), Dandy Lichious (66/1), Redondo (100/1), The Man Above (150/1), Kayson Cian (150/1), So Diligent (200/1)

WARNIE wasn't beaten all that far in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot on his debut 13 days ago and is taken to get off the mark at the second attempt in these calmer waters. State's Evidence is considered a major threat though, as he appeals as the sort to improve markedly on a promising first run at Down Royal a fortnight ago. Cill Mocheallog is a newcomer to note.
