Forecasts

Grand Bazaar (11/4), Labeebb (9/2), Valyrian Steel (9/2), Alfred Boucher (11/2), Midnights Legacy (10/1), Soto Sizzler (10/1), Lost Eden (11/1), Pirate King (20/1), Koeman (20/1), Protected Guest (50/1)

Verdict

VALYRIAN STEEL and Grand Bazaar both represent top yards and are still on the up, so they're worth taking against the field in an open-looking event. The first-named, who did well to get up late at Kempton last time, takes marginal preference, with Lost Eden the pick of the remainder.

  1. VALYRIAN STEEL (IRE)
  2. GRAND BAZAAR
  3. LOST EDEN (IRE)
