Forecasts

Another Eclipse (13/8), Commander Cole (7/4), Protected Guest (11/4), Bless Him (4/1), Red Label (14/1), Great Hall (16/1)

BLESS HIM has run well in defeat this season in some strong races. This one might not be as taxing and he's now fallen 5lb in the ratings from his starting point. The longer trip could eke more out of him and Jamie Spencer is riding with supreme confidence right now. They should go close. Commander Cole comes here off a career-best at Doncaster and is certain to be involved with a repeat while Another Eclipse is also respected (should he turn up). Protected Guest was competitive at Newmarket on Friday and can be that again despite a quick turnaround.
