Forecasts

Many Men (3/1), Goblet Of Fire (4/1), Pole Star (6/1), Align The Stars (13/2), Dramatic Star (8/1), Subsequent (17/2), Bahadur (12/1), Kihavah (18/1), Artisan Dancer (20/1), Yashin (22/1), Brasil Power (33/1), Charging Thunder (40/1)

Verdict

BAHADUR is one of a trio 4-y-os in the race and given how well he progressed last term, the suspicion remains that he'll prove capable of better still this season with a recent pipe opener under his belt. Align The Stars is respected on the back of his Kempton win, whilst Dramatic Star hasn't really had the rub of the green so far this season and is also of some interest now equipped with cheekpieces.

  1. BAHADUR
  2. ALIGN THE STARS (IRE)
  3. DRAMATIC STAR
