Forecasts

Farouk D'Alene (11/10), Gabynako (6/4), Vanillier (4/1), Lifetime Ambition (7/1), Master McShee (10/1), Fire Attack (14/1), Lieutenant Command (16/1), Global Equity (66/1)

Verdict

Several promising chasers testing themselves at the top level and there's plenty of potential amongst them but GABYNAKO went like the best horse on the day when runner-up in Grade 1 company last time and can go one better here. Both Farouk d'Alene and Lieutenant Command are sure-fire improvers in this sphere and can give the selection most to think about.

  1. GABYNAKO (FR)
  2. FAROUK D'ALENE (FR)
  3. LIEUTENANT COMMAND (FR)
