Forecasts

Peaky Boy (11/8), Haiti Couleurs (4/1), Transmission (6/1), Destroytheevidence (7/1), Livin On Luco (12/1), Isaac Des Obeaux (12/1), Hillcrest (22/1), Beachcomber (22/1), Moon D'orange (33/1)

A cracking contest in store with a host of unexposed staying chasers lining up. The vote goes to HAITI COULEURS, who jumped with aplomb when landing the odds at Aintree 5 weeks ago and Rebecca Curtis' 7-y-o remains potentially smart now faced with a sterner assignment. Peaky Boy completed a course hat-trick on return/chase debut last month, so he heads up the opposition, with Isaac des Obeaux and Transmission both sure to advance their form in this discipline, too.
