Forecasts

Rockpoint (2/5), Champ (10/11), Serosevsky (3/1), Barn Hill (8/1), Commodore Barry (12/1), Beyond Supremacy (14/1), Buster Moon (14/1), Orchard Thieves (14/1), Out Of Style (16/1), Just Midas (20/1), Here's Bingo (25/1), Scrupuleux (33/1), Ericas Lad (50/1), Menapian (200/1)

CHAMP may prove hard to beat if reproducing his fine effort at Ascot on hurdles debut where he only narrowly lost out to a subsequent listed winner. Rockpoint should appreciate the drop in grade and looks the main danger, while both Barn Hill and Out of Style may be up to winning races. Any money for the long absent Orchard Thieves would be interesting as he cost connections a pretty penny.
