Forecasts

Both Of Us (11/10), Queen Roslyn (10/3), Alfred Spero (11/1), Mr Zippi (12/1), Storm Asset (14/1), Saachi (14/1), Recobella (14/1), Lady Phoebe (18/1), Toronto Raptor (22/1), Wadacre Giorgio (25/1), Tiberio Force (25/1), Arie Gordye (25/1), Spring Festival (28/1), Yurinov (100/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but it's still hard to side against BOTH OF US who has advanced his form stepped up in trip and can complete a quick hat-trick under a 6 lb penalty. Recobella is feared most on the back of a good Beverley second, although Queen Roslyn, Toronto Raptor and Storm Asset all need factoring in too.
