Forecasts

Famous Clermont (1/2), Fairly Famous (7/2), Imperial Esprit (6/1), Somptueux (20/1)

FAMOUS CLERMONT bagged this prize 12 months ago for Izzie Hill and rates the clear pick at these weights so is fancied to go in once more on the back of a couple of recent point victories. Gina Andrews' in-form Fairly Famous rates the chief danger ahead of last year's runner-up Imperial Esprit.
