Forecasts

Vandeek (1/1), Never So Brave (2/1), Mitwaa (11/1), Alaskan Gold (12/1), Jubilee Walk (12/1), Breath Of Wrets (18/1), Respectful (33/1), The Bitter Moose (40/1), Havana Touch (50/1), Military Micki (80/1), Palazzo Persico (200/1), Havana Mojito (250/1)

VANDEEK fetched 625,000 guineas at the Breeze-Ups and his trainer has done well in the past with similar types, particularly first time out, so he's worth chancing to get the better of Never So Brave, who arrives on the back of an encouraging start. Alaskan Gold is another one to consider in what could prove to be a strong maiden.
