Forecasts

Adrien Du Pont (2/5), Envoye Special (15/8), Tom Barton (28/1), Sheer Poetry (100/1), Dissertation (200/1), Only Time'll Tell (250/1)

ADRIEN DU PONT had plenty in hand when winning at Newbury last time and is a cut above this opposition, so he's fancied to follow up quite comfortably under the most experienced rider. Envoye Special is the main danger and Sheer Poetry could take a hand if she retains ability after a mammoth lay-off.
