Forecasts

Cage Rattler (3/1), Passionate (4/1), Manhattan Dandy (9/2), Adhuil (11/2), Leviosa (11/2), Arthur's Victory (7/1), Hope And Innocence (16/1), Scarlet Dancer (50/1), Bellick (80/1), Viva Voce (80/1), Esticky End (125/1)

MANHATTAN DANDY shaped as if still in good form bidding to defy a 5 lb rise when third of 16 over C&D 2 weeks ago so remains of interest. Cage Rattler will find this easier than the Curragh and is feared most ahead of Adhuil.
