Forecasts

Verdict

AMAZING JOURNEY is 5 lb well-in under a penalty and can provide Jamie Osborne with another big handicap win on the straight course at Ascot. Fellow 3-y-o Extremely Zain has a triple-figure rating on the back of his easy York win but there could be plenty more to come from him after only 3 starts and he's feared most ahead of Buckingham Palace winner Mezcala and recent Bunbury Cup runner-up Back In Black.
