Forecasts

Menhaal (10/11), Down To You Kid (7/2), Pure Grit (8/1), Kamaal (10/1), Asgar (12/1), Wilbur (16/1), State Of War (22/1), God Given Talent (28/1), Sakowin (33/1), Oceans Six (50/1)

Verdict

MENHAAL is bred to be smart and hails from a yard that can ready one, so gets the vote before market clues. The Hannon stable has a very good record in this so Down To You Kid is on the shortlist, while Andrew Balding won this last year with a subsequent Royal Ascot winner and Pure Grit may prove to be the pick of his 2 runners.

  1. MENHAAL (IRE)
  2. DOWN TO YOU KID (IRE)
  3. PURE GRIT
