Forecasts

Finian's Oscar (11/10), Capitaine (2/1), Chalonnial (8/1), Charlemar (8/1), Global Stage (25/1), Celestial Path (33/1)

CAPITAINE impressed when landing a Grade Two at Ascot last time under a positive ride. That form suggests he can add to his yard's successes in this race at the expense of Charlemar. He is an honest sort who has done nothing wrong so far and his game attitude will force the selection to be at his best to win this. Finians Oscar looked a horse with a bright future when scoring at Hereford but the shorter trip could leave him exposed to the speedier types in this lineup. 1. Capitaine 2. Charlemar 3. Finian's Oscar
