Forecasts

Honey Man (13/8), Cogital (4/1), Embour (9/2), Hidden Affair (11/2), Restive Spirit (9/1), Ballyquin (10/1), Motajaasid (20/1), Serjeant Painter (25/1), Bow Street Runner (28/1), Papelaine (33/1), Sharp Inntake (33/1)

Verdict

Restive Spirit and Motajaasid are interesting on debut and should be noted in the betting, but this may go to Derby entrant COGITAL, who shaped really well on debut at Newmarket. It is slightly surprising to see him drop in trip, but he looks a horse of some ability who can go on to much better things. Hidden Affair, Ballyquin, Embour and Honey Man head the list of dangers, while Papelaine looks likely to improve on his fair debut at Newbury.
  1. Cogital
  2. Embour
  3. Hidden Affair
