Forecasts

The Gatekeeper (13/8), Sudden Ambush (3/1), Escobar (4/1), Ouzo (6/1), Thunder Ball (7/1), Bless Him (7/1)

Verdict

BLESS HIM (engaged here Saturday) had a hopeless task from where he ended up in the International at Ascot last month and could be the way to go in a trappy handicap. The Gatekeeper, second in the Golden Mile, can go well, while Sudden Ambush is also considered.

  1. BLESS HIM (IRE)
  2. THE GATEKEEPER (IRE)
  3. SUDDEN AMBUSH
