Forecasts

Dancing To Win (7/4), Zagato (2/1), Roscioli (5/2), Lexington Knight (11/4), Satono Chevalier (4/1), Sky Harbour (28/1), Tighten Up (100/1), Placated (100/1), Wonder Ajaya (125/1), Intoxication (125/1), Andelysa (125/1), Come On Cara (150/1), Forgotten Realm (150/1), Almufeed (200/1)

Verdict

ZAGATO got his career firmly back on track when narrowly denied in a Doncaster handicap last time and this looks a nice opening for him. Sir Michael Stoute's Satono Chevalier can improve past Lexington Knight and give the selection most to think about.

  1. ZAGATO
  2. SATONO CHEVALIER (IRE)
  3. LEXINGTON KNIGHT (IRE)
