Forecasts

Hankelow (5/4), Frescobaldi (3/1), Catullus (7/2), Avicenna (11/2), Northern Champion (6/1), Do Or Do Not (13/2), Sunset On Leros (16/1), Sir Albert (18/1), Do Bronxs (50/1), Electrical (50/1)

Several likely improvers in an interesting listed event. FRESCOBALDI gets the vote for Aidan O'Brien on the back of his success in the Convivial maiden at the recent York Ebor meeting. Hankelow looked good on his debut at the end of June and may provide the main threat. Catullus and Northern Champion are other smart prospects in the line-up, while Do Or Do Not would be a threat to all if recapturing the pick of his Group-placed form from this summer.
