Forecasts
Poker Face (6/4), Saga (13/8), Notre Belle Bete (9/2), Certain Lad (5/1), Savvy Victory (17/2)
All 5 of these contested the Wolferton at Royal Ascot and only SAGA gave his running, albeit Certain Lad and Savvy Victory were hampered. The Gosden 4-y-o isn't totally straightforward but he's just about the pick on these terms. With no obvious pace on, Poker Face may resume forward tactics and he's feared most.
