Sporting Life forecast prices — published the night before the race. Top 3 highlighted as market favourites.

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
5th	1	4	Vilaine Verlaine (F) Struggled in 2 comeback outings this spring but put those behind her when second of 8 in 2m Kempton handicap 16 days ago, looking suited to the longer trip.	250-602	Alicia Perkins	M D I Usher	4	61.2 kg	7 6/1
4th	2	5	Now The Eagle (G) Gained breakthrough success at Kempton (2m) in April and bettered that form when second back there on next 2 outings. Might have found the run coming too soon after only 5 days off when well held on turf at Newbury since.	7-81227	Ryan Kavanagh	L A Dace	4	61.2 kg	6 5/1
1st	3	3	Prince Quattro (G) FAV Kept very busy on all-weather over the winter, including winning a handicap over 1¾m at Southwell in January. Off 3 months. Has done most of his Flat racing on an artificial surface but is a 4-time hurdle winner so turf shouldn't be an iss…	775424	Mason Paetel	James Owen	7	60.3 kg	2.38 11/8
2nd	4	1	Betelgeuse (G) [P1] Wide-margin winner at Southwell in October and returned with good runner-up efforts there in April. Not in same form back on turf at Yarmouth twice since, though. Needs first-time cheekpieces to give him a lift.	15-2253	Billy Loughnane	S Woods	4	59.4 kg	4 3/1
3rd	5	2	Dereham (G) Consistent stayer who had lots to spare when winning this race for a third time last year. A reappearance fourth at Yarmouth (1¾m, good) should have put him spot on for another bold bid in this contest.	2123P-4	Nicola Currie	John Berry	10	55.3 kg	7 6/1

Betting forecast: Prince Quattro (11/8), Betelgeuse (3/1), Now The Eagle (5/1), Dereham (6/1), Vilaine Verlaine (6/1)
