ADVERTISE 3/1 – Course and distance winner who won at this meeting last year. Stayed on well to take the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last time and is the one to beat.
DREAM OF DREAMS 7/2 – Listed winner who was second behind the impressive Blue Point in the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot, entitled to be involved again.
CAPE BYRON 5/1 – Classy handicapper. Won the Wokingham at Royal Ascot. Entitled to a crack at this level but likely to fine one or two too good.
BRANDO 9/1 – French Group 1 winner in 2017 but hasn't been running to that sort of form of late and likely to struggle.
Conclusion
Not the strongest of renewals and
ADVERTISE 3/1 looks the one to be on and it is difficult to see where the dangers lie. DREAM OF DREAMS is a tentative choice for the forecast.
