Forecasts

Rebel's Romance (8/11), Convergent (3/1), Almeric (5/1), Tenability (15/2), Arabian Crown (18/1)

Verdict

Another trappy renewal of a race that has proved a graveyard for favourites. CONVERGENT boasted a positive profile prior to Epsom and, with that run easily forgiven, he looks worth siding with to get back on track, his John Porter success representing the best recent form on offer. The ultra-reliable Rebel’s Romance carries a 3 lb penalty but still looks the most likely to benefit should the selection fail to run to his best, while Tenability may still have more to offer.

  1. CONVERGENT (IRE)
  2. REBEL'S ROMANCE (IRE)
  3. TENABILITY
