Forecasts

Taritino (3/1), Relentless Hero (10/3), Spartan Times (4/1), L'Eagle Aid (5/1), Oman (11/2), Condotti (7/1), Percy Jones (11/1), Triple Force (16/1), Atheneum (50/1)

A 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent TARITINO from landing a follow-up success, with Oman the likely main danger if back to his Goodwood form. Condotti is weighted to go close but does have stamina to prove over a markedly longer trip, while Andrew Balding's Relentless Hero could have more to offer now handicapping.
