Forecasts

Fox Duty Free (7/2), Lequinto (4/1), Elmejor (9/2), Radetsky (5/1), Reine De Vitesse (10/1), My Style (10/1), De Vegas Kid (11/1), Phuket Power (12/1), Amber Island (14/1), Centurion Song (20/1), Otago (40/1), Princesse Animale (50/1), Elusif (80/1)

LEQUINTO is in search of the hat-trick after two wins over this trip at Wolverhampton and it's difficult to oppose him even with a 7 lb rise. Tony Carroll has really found the key to him in recent months and he can progress further here. My Style and Reine de Vitesse look the biggest dangers but their wide draws are slightly offputting.
