Forecasts

Double The Dance (11/10), Half Hoping (11/4), Lancelot Vivo (4/1), Style De Folie (15/2), West Along (28/1), Lancier Des Obeaux (50/1)

Verdict

DOUBLE THE DANCE sets the standard on his Ascot debut form and is taken to open his account in the finale. Chepstow runner-up Half Hoping could prove most troublesome.
