Forecasts

Minella Indo (15/8), Panda Boy (11/4), Conflated (11/4), Delta Work (6/1), Hurricane Georgie (11/1), Fighter Allen (14/1)

CONFLATED has to concede weight all round but a repetition of the form of his Gold Cup third will see him prove hard to beat. Minella Indo scored on his return last term and is narrowly preferred to Delta Work for the forecast spot.
