Forecasts

El Astronaute (7/1), Smash Williams (7/1), Hathiq (7/1), Nitro Boost (8/1), Dark Shot (9/1), Orvar (10/1), Ardhoomey (10/1), Lord Riddiford (12/1), Venturous (12/1), Duke Of Firenze (12/1), Rapid Reaction (16/1), Just Glamorous (16/1), Brick By Brick (16/1), Manshood (20/1), Dash D'Or (20/1), Maarek (33/1), True Blue Moon (33/1)

There should be plenty pace on here. El Astronaute and Just Glamourous won't be hanging around, with preference for the first-named, though top weight will be a heavy burden late on. HATHIQ didn't match expectations in the Epsom Dash but he wouldn't be the first to fail on that track and is fancied to get back on target now, given his excellent form previous to that run. Duke Of Firenze, Ardhoomey and Smash Williams can all be given a chance.
