Forecasts
Purview (4/6), Galen (13/8), Expanded (5/1), Sparks Fly (7/1), Snellen (16/1), Lord Massusus (25/1), Shiota (50/1)
With two very promising runs under his best and the best surely yet to come, PURVIEW gets the nod ahead. He stepped up markedly on his all-weather maiden success at 2 yrs when splitting Delacroix and Tennessee Stud in the Derby Trial here in May, form which those rivals have subsequently boosted. Galen went down all guns blazing at Royal Ascot last month and will ensure that Purview is is tested here. He is clear second choice ahead of British raider Sparks Fly and Expanded.
