Forecasts

Unexpected Party (3/1), Garry Clermont (9/2), Fils D'oudairies (5/1), Stellar Magic (6/1), Smurphy Enki (9/1), Kateson (10/1), Sonigino (11/1), Stoner's Choice (16/1), N'Golo (25/1), Esprit Du Large (33/1), Skandiburg (66/1)

UNEXPECTED PARTY pulled clear with another improver having gone through the race as if still way ahead of his mark at Wetherby last time, so he's worth a chance to get back to winning ways. Garry Clermont has proved most reliable up to now and another bold showing is expected from him, while Stellar Magic is another with an upwardly-mobile profile, so he's respected, too.
