Betting Forecast: 7-2 Crescent Lake (GB), Bashful Boy (IRE), 5-1 Claritudo (GB), 11-2 Seal of Solomon (IRE), 11-1 Percy Jones (GB), 16-1 Whimsy (GB), 20-1 Songo (IRE), 25-1 Wilderness (GB), 40-1 Sky Power (IRE), 66-1 Capstan (GB)

Race Summary: CRESCENT LAKE arrives on the up for Gary Moore so is taken to defy a 3lb rise in the weights for his recent Goodwood success and record win number three of the season. Seal Of Solomon is feared most on the back of his good Southwell second ahead of Claritudo, who didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Chester last time.
