Forecasts
Et Moi Alors (4/9), Notre Ami (9/2), Mister Malarky (5/1), Airtight (20/1)
ET MOI ALORS looked very much like making a winning debut before falling at the last at Ascot. That was a strong performance in the context of this field and with improvement entirely possible, he could prove tough to beat granted a clear round. Mister Malarky has to concede over a stone to the selection, which doesn't look easy on paper and he also has to shrug off his latest disappointment. Notre Ami looks next best on the evidence to date.
