Forecasts

Aye Aye Charlie (15/8), Doux Pretender (11/4), Rockpoint (11/2), Supremely Lucky (6/1), Danny Whizzbang (7/1), Lisnagar Oscar (8/1), Rocco (12/1), Lough Derg Diamond (50/1), Three Bullet Gate (66/1)

Verdict

Aye Aye Charlie has experience on his side and boasts some very decent form, but he is exposed and may be vulnerable to DOUX PRETENDER who stayed on well for pressure at Ascot last time and should relish this step up in distance. Danny Whizzbang takes a sharp rise in class, but is respected for his top stable, while Rocco is not out of it if returning to the form of his Chepstow success. Supremely Lucky is improving and could figure, while Rockpoint and Lough Derg Diamond do battle for last year's winning stable.
  1. Doux Pretender
  2. Aye Aye Charlie
