Forecasts

Lake Forest (1/3), King's Gamble (15/2), Infinity Blue (15/2), Tchaikovsky (12/1), Zain Blue (18/1), Miggy Magic (22/1), Lost In Music (22/1), Tennessee Gold (50/1)

Penalised LAKE FOREST sets a clear standard on his second in the Group 2 July Stakes and is by far the one to beat. King's Gamble is an interesting newcomer though, and Infinity Blue is bred to do a lot better than what he showed on debut.
