Forecasts

El Hayem (13/8), Ice Slice (4/1), Rene Mathis (5/1), Gabrial's Kaka (17/2), Hillbilly Boy (10/1), Sound Advice (12/1), Call Out Loud (12/1), Michele Strogoff (14/1), Grand Inquisitor (14/1), Fuwairt (16/1), Lat Hawill (16/1), Calder Prince (16/1), Intransigent (16/1), Tribal Path (33/1)

Verdict

EL HAYEM comes in with a different profile to the rest of the field and he's probably better than a mark of 90; with the yard in form and a perfect draw, he could be tough to beat. Fuwairt performed a little better than his finishing position suggested last time at Doncaster but over coming his draw (13) won't be easy. Rene Mathis looks like the main danger to the selection if he returns in the same form of his latest victory.
  1. El Hayem

  3. Fuwairt
