Forecasts

Gstaad (4/11), Distant Storm (5/1), Alparslan (11/1), Thesecretadversary (14/1), Go Just Do It (25/1), Power Blue (28/1), Pacific Avenue (40/1), Bamako Beach (50/1), Take Charge Star (50/1), Neolithic (50/1)

GSTAAD is super consistent at this level and has an excellent opportunity of bagging his second Group 1 of his career having beat the rest easily when runner-up in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. There's little depth to this Classic but Thesecretadversary does at least have a bigger performance in him if racing more efficiently so is second choice ahead of Guineas-third Distant Storm, who sports headgear for the first time.
