Forecasts

Stay Away Fay (5/2), Idalko Bihoue (4/1), Grand Soir (9/2), Maximilian (13/2), Twig (15/2), Hurricane Bay (16/1), Mahons Glory (20/1), Park This One (22/1), The Wounded Knee (25/1), Rock On Cowboy (66/1)

This can go the way of STAY AWAY FAY, who looked all about stamina when making a winning start under Rules at Newbury a couple of months ago and Paul Nicholls' charge is fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride. Grand Soir arrives chasing a 4-timer so he may emerge as the main danger, with Idalko Bihoue and The Wounded Knee another couple worth considering.
