Forecasts

Hey Tru Blue (10/11), Wyle Cop (7/2), Starryfield (15/2), North Force (11/1), Naawi (14/1), Bird Of War (16/1), Copperfield (20/1), Hey Havana (25/1), Vincent Gambini (28/1), Goldie Bear (33/1), Saniyaat's Star (80/1), Runninman (100/1), Captain Bruce (100/1), Baldosa (150/1), Rupert Ritzik (300/1)

Preference is for WYLE COP, who acquitted himself really well at Royal Ascot last month and remains open to further improvement. Hey Tru Blue looks the obvious danger on form, whilst Starryfield may be the pick of some interesting newcomers.
