Forecasts

Tintoretto (11/4), Macs Dilemma (3/1), Fangorn (10/3), Fieldsman (7/2), King Of War (13/2), Porterinthejungle (8/1)

Having dropped below his last winning mark, TINTORETTO returned to form when not beaten far at Epsom and he can build on that effort to get his head back in front again. Macs Dilemma has been in fine form this year and is feared most, ahead of King of War.
