Forecasts

Mr Marrakech (1/1), Glendevon (5/2), Tadbir (7/2), Arbalet (9/2), Golden Slam (20/1), Fard (20/1), Smart Dart (25/1), Pheidippides (33/1), Saphil (50/1), Timssaah (50/1), Excelabit (66/1), Fata Morgana (150/1)

Arbalet sets the bar high on his Group 3 third as a juvenile, but GLENDEVON is held in high esteem and it would be no surprise to see him emerge as a top-class horse given his size and scope. Tadbir showed plenty of sped to score here last time, but he is up in trip and taking on much tougher opponents. The same applies to Golden Slam who has been off for almost two years and Pheidippides who was much improved last time.
