Forecasts

Monna Valley (2/1), Embankment (5/1), Victoriously (6/1), Henry Grace (7/1), Street Art (7/1), Estibdaad (8/1), Gunner Moyne (8/1), With Approval (10/1), Firestorm (10/1), Ixelles Diamond (16/1), Marauder (16/1), Prince Of Cardamom (25/1), Bassino (25/1), Mette (66/1)

All of these have questions to answer for one reason or another but there are good grounds for giving GUNNER MOYNE a chance to prove himself capable of coping with this sort of challenge and he gets a tentative seal of approval. Monna Valley also appeals as a leading candidate in a modest race like this and is one to bear in mind if supported in the betting. Estibdaad is another that comes into the reckoning on the pick of his efforts but his style of running leaves him vulnerable to a more doughty stayer. Victoriously arrives after a confidence-boosting win last time out and may be the best of the rest if he is in the same frame of mind.
