Forecasts
Night Of Glory (5/2), Blakeney Point (10/3), Sumbal (9/2), Dance The Dream (13/2), My Reward (13/2), Soldier In Action (10/1), Minotaur (25/1)
Soldier In Action cannot be discounted despite his welter burden, while Minotaur is also respected given the form he showed in France and subsequent promise over hurdles. However, the ones to concentrate on may be Sumbal and BLAKENEY POINT, who boast useful recent form. The latter's defeat of a subsequent Group race winner reads particularly well and a repeat of that effort would surely see him go close.
- Blakeney Point
- Sumbal
- Minotaur
