Forecasts

Love (13/8), Adayar (9/4), Lone Eagle (7/2), Mishriff (13/2), Wonderful Tonight (12/1), Broome (14/1)

An intriguing renewal, not least as the Derby winner takes part for only the second time in the last 10 years, and it's Epsom-hero ADAYAR who gets the nod, with this year's Blue Riband boosted by the subsequent Group 1 successes of third-placed Hurricane Lane. Love is feared most if the ground stays on the quick side, but if the heavens do open Wonderful Tonight could provide the main threat.
