Forecast Prices: Into The Light 5/1, Cannes 10/1, Heyzoom 7/1, Tierra Del Toro 15/2, Enceladus 10/1, Al Azd 10/1, Golden Knight 16/1, Joulany 8/1, Believed 12/1, Waterford Castle 20/1, Bnaider 20/1, Atomic City 16/1, Arc Ole Ole 10/1, Dial Me In 20/1, Charles Darnay 33/1, Whos Lope 20/1, Guildmaster 20/1, Birgham Dub 50/1, Galilean Quality 33/1, Genchev 33/1, Blue Hercules 50/1, Amora Queen 66/1
Heyzoom won what looked a strong Newbury maiden and must be of interest going handicapping for the first time for an in-form stable. He's 3lb well-in and ought to go well but preference is for INTO THE LIGHT, who got within a short head of subsequent London Gold Cup winner Lost Boys when finishing a solid second at Sandown in April. Joulany finished half-a-length third to Maltese Cross at Newbury and that form looks really strong following the winner's second-placed effort in the Derby. Now gelded, Ralph Beckett's inmate is noted in a first-time tongue-tie, and his stable companion Tierra Del Toro comes into the reckoning too.
Prediction: 1st Into The Light, 2nd Heyzoom, 3rd Joulany
