Are you with Leger hotpot Hurricane Lane or against him?

Phill Anderson, Spotlight writer Against him at odds-on. As his price suggests, he clearly arrives with the best form chance but both Sir Lucan and High Definition are likely improvers stepping up in trip. Sir Lucan has shaped like he needs 1m6f-plus throughout the campaign and I’m not convinced we've seen the best from Aidan O’Brien’s three-year-old crop yet this term.

Ed Dunlop, trainer No horse is unbeatable, unless it’s Frankel, but I can’t really see any flaws unless he fails to stay. He wasn’t stopping at the end of the Irish Derby or the Grand Prix de Paris over a mile and a half, so he should be okay on that score.

Barry Orr, Betfair He looks very difficult to oppose but there could be a bit of each-way value against him. Interpretation is an interesting runner with the booking of Hollie Doyle a big plus, while first-time cheekpieces could work the oracle on High Definition, who was only two lengths off Hurricane Lane in the Dante.
