Forecasts

Ile de France (4/5), Magna Cum Laude (5/2), Moliere (12/1), Aachen (12/1), Equus Victor (16/1), Alreem (16/1), Highest Order (20/1), Verona Basilica (25/1), Epic Arch (40/1), Youveonlyonemother (100/1), King Paddy (150/1), Lusted (200/1), Bex Noir (300/1)

ILE DE FRANCE wasn’t given a hard time on debut and is expected to prove a different proposition now upped in trip. Highest Order should also step forward from his debut and looks the chief danger, while Aachen makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and is capable of being involved if fully tuned up first time out.
