Forecasts

Tripoli Flyer (7/4), Romeo Coolio (2/1), Salvator Mundi (7/2), Jet To Vegas (14/1), Diva Luna (14/1), Royal Infantry (28/1), Karbau (33/1), Rubber Ball (40/1), Blues Singer (100/1), Joltin N Jiving (150/1)

Verdict

Third in last month's Supreme, a race which certainly looked up to standard, ROMEO COOLIO is the standout on form and he can record a second Grade 1 success. The fly in the ointment could be the improving Tripoli Flyer who arrives on the back of a hat-trick and could be fresher than some of his rivals having bypassed the Cheltenham Festival. Fifth in the Supreme, Salvator Mundi is consistent, and he can fill the frame.

  1. ROMEO COOLIO
  2. TRIPOLI FLYER (IRE)
  3. SALVATOR MUNDI (FR)
