Forecasts

Queen's Soldier (11/8), Craneur (2/1), Twpsyn (9/2), Essenaitch (6/1), Frantical (7/1), Renardeau (8/1), Espresso Freddo (12/1), Sea Of Marengo (16/1), Arrowzone (25/1), Tally's Son (28/1), Mystical Jadeite (33/1)

Verdict

This distance suits Craneur, as he showed when chasing home an improving rival at Salisbury recently, and he rates a key player if replicating that effort now. Queen's Soldier continues to seek a first win and did fairly well from the rear to be second at Epsom last time but ESSENAITCH has posted a couple of good efforts lately and has been given a decent chance by the assessor if he can keep his powder dry for the finish. Renardeau has undergone wind surgery and could yet do better at this distance as he seeks a breakthrough win.
  1. Essenaitch
  2. Craneur
  3. Queen's Soldier
