Forecasts

Al Aasy (7/4), Japan (10/3), Albaflora (4/1), Mogul (13/2), Pyledriver (8/1), Alpinista (33/1), Highland Chief (40/1)

AL AASY has proved a totally different proposition in 2 starts this season, including when showing high-class form to beat some smart rivals in effortless fashion at Newbury. This represents his toughest task yet, but he is clearly going the right way and should take plenty of beating. Brothers/stablemates Japan and Mogul are fancied to emerge as the chief threats.
