Forecasts

Pole Star (11/4), Valiancy (4/1), Circus Of Rome (9/2), Ride The Thunder (15/2), Gran Descans (15/2), Winston Junior (9/1), Fantasy World (12/1), Way Of Stars (16/1), Tiernan (16/1), Mafting (33/1), Love Talk (80/1)

Some promising young stayers here, not least CIRCUS OF ROME who resumed from a break with an impressive success at Newcastle and can now complete his hat-trick. William Haggas has a good record in this and his Valiancy rates a big danger, while Charlie Johnston's Pole Star is weighted to go well. Gran Descans, Ride The Thunder and Winston Junior all command plenty of respect too in this cracking handicap.
