Forecasts

Leadenhall (2/1), Urban Sprawl (6/1), Fantastic Fox (13/2), Band Of Steel (13/2), Turquoise Diamond (15/2), Court Of Session (9/1), Pjanoo (12/1), Baltimore Boy (14/1), Roman Dynasty (16/1), Cry Havoc (33/1)

Verdict

LEADENHALL looked unlucky not to make it back-to-back victories at Newmarket just under 7 weeks ago, so Ralph Beckett's progressive 3-y-o is fancied to make amends fitted with a first-time visor at the expense of Turquoise Diamond, who arrives chasing a hat-trick and could have even more to offer. Court of Session and Roman Dynasty can fight out minor honours.

  1. LEADENHALL
  2. TURQUOISE DIAMOND
  3. COURT OF SESSION
