Forecasts

Sweet William (10/11), Lazy Griff (4/1), Furthur (9/2), Epic Poet (7/1), Dubai Future (20/1), Beylerbeyi (25/1), Paradias (25/1), Duke Of Oxford (33/1)

Verdict

FURTHUR was smart as a 3-y-o and could prove a force in cup races this year given how he shaped on his comeback at York. The consistent Sweet William is an obvious threat having defied a penalty in the Sagaro Stakes at Ascot on his reappearance, while Lazy Griff is a very interesting contender stepping up in distance on his belated return.

  1. FURTHUR (IRE)
  2. SWEET WILLIAM (IRE)
  3. LAZY GRIFF (GER)
