Forecasts

Dancing To Win (7/4), Zagato (2/1), Roscioli (5/2), Lexington Knight (11/4), Satono Chevalier (4/1), Sky Harbour (28/1), Tighten Up (100/1), Placated (100/1), Wonder Ajaya (125/1), Intoxication (125/1), Andelysa (125/1), Come On Cara (150/1), Forgotten Realm (150/1), Almufeed (200/1)

ZAGATO got his career firmly back on track when narrowly denied in a Doncaster handicap last time and this looks a nice opening for him. Sir Michael Stoute's Satono Chevalier can improve past Lexington Knight and give the selection most to think about.
