Forecasts

Sam Hawkens (11/5), Filibustering (10/3), Minstrel Knight (9/2), Hot Fuss (11/2), Calvert (17/2), Spaceport (9/1), Walter Hartright (22/1)

There isn't much between all seven of these and the vote goes to SAM HAWKENS, who wasn't seen to best effect when fourth on debut for new connections at Ascot and the combination of this step up in trip and slower ground will make this is a far more favourable scenario for the Galileo colt. Hot Fuss is unproven beyond 1¼m but shapes as though he'll stay, while Minstrel Knight will almost certainly benefit from this stiffer test and he is also feared, along with Filibustering.
