Forecasts

Klassical Dream (11/10), Ashdale Bob (11/2), Sire Du Berlais (7/1), Paisley Park (7/1), Thedevilscoachman (7/1), Concertista (9/1), Gentlemansgame (10/1), Vanillier (14/1)

Verdict

KLASSICAL DREAM has had a light campaign so there ought to be still some mileage in the tank and he can win this race for a second year running. Sire du Berlais is sure to make his presence felt if turning up in similar form to Aintree, while Concertista makes some appeal back over hurdles given she's unexposed at this trip.
