Forecasts

Lion of Mali (11/4), Eduardo Calderon (9/2), Supreme Clarets (5/1), Euphonia (13/2), Sun Of Dolly (7/1), Tekitoff (10/1), Stoic Poet (16/1), Sparkling Pink (18/1), This Rib (18/1), Kiani King (22/1), Bluebluelectricblu (25/1), Go Victor (50/1)

Verdict

LION OF MALI proved tenacious as he made it 3 wins from his 4 starts at Leicester 4 weeks ago, seeing off re-opposing Eduardo Calderon by ½ length in the process. He looks to hold sound claims again from a 2 lb higher mark provided forecast slower ground doesn't pose any fears. The aforementioned rival remains low mileage and is feared, as is recent Wetherby eyecatcher Supreme Clarets. Euphonia scored convincingly at Leicester and completes the shortlist.

  1. LION OF MALI
  2. EDUARDO CALDERON (IRE)
  3. SUPREME CLARETS (IRE)
