Forecasts

Hidden Pass (11/10), Aragon Castle (6/4), Valadero (11/2), Try Line (10/1), Marcella (18/1), Takeover Target (80/1)

Verdict

VALADERO is expected to bounce back returned to easier conditions and can make a winning start for Darryll Holland. Aragon Castle slammed a subsequent winner at Epsom so must be feared under a penalty, with Hidden Pass another obvious contender after his debut second at Haydock.

  1. VALADERO (IRE)
  2. ARAGON CASTLE (IRE)
