Forecasts

Verdict

Always a very useful 3-y-o handicap. An opening mark in the high 80s looks manageable for HAND OF GOD on the back of his taking Newmarket maiden success last autumn so he gets the vote under Ryan Moore. Cracking Gold and Cuban Tiger have done well on AW this year and are feared most.
