Forecasts

Point King (8/11), Bluegrass (15/8), Temple Of Artemis (4/1), Manu Et Corde (12/1), Shajak (16/1), Simply Glorious (25/1)

The two with the most appealing claims are POINT KING and Bluegrass. The latter brings by far the most solid piece of form to the table courtesy of his latest effort in the Dante at York where he was third to Desert Crown. He is greatly respected now upped in trip, but the suspicion remains that there's better to come from Point King, who is 2-2 this season, and he is marginally preferred. The selection's stablemate Temple of Artemis is best of the rest.
