Forecasts

Palace Boy (11/10), Spartan Army (9/1), Haveyoumissedme (9/1), Heathen (10/1), Award Dancer (11/1), Simiyann (11/1), Swinging London (14/1), Evaluation (18/1), First Emperor (20/1), King Viktor (22/1), Educator (28/1), Sir Chauvelin (28/1), Animato (33/1)

Verdict

PALACE BOY still looked comfortably ahead of his mark when making it 2 from 2 for this yard at Wolverhampton 5 weeks ago and can complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Spartan Army, who did well to overcome a pace bias at Lingfield. Simiyann caught the eye at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and completes the shortlist.
