Forecasts

Edwardtheninth (10/11), Both Of Us (11/4), Stand Strong (5/1), Quercus Robur (12/1), Billy No Mates (14/1), Gastronomy (28/1), Himself (40/1), Team Endeavour (40/1), Reel Her In (40/1)

Verdict

BOTH OF US arrives at the top of his game and with this step up in distance also a positive he gets a confident vote. Edwardtheninth made a good start for Ruth Jefferson when runner-up over C&D and should ensure George Boughey's 3-y-o doesn't have things all his own way with Stand Strong and Team Endeavour the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.

  1. BOTH OF US (IRE)

  3. STAND STRONG
