Forecasts

Desert Skyline (2/1), Thomas Hobson (4/1), Sheikhzayedroad (5/1), She Is No Lady (7/1), Montaly (15/2), Pallasator (16/1), High Jinx (20/1), Fun Mac (22/1), Clever Cookie (33/1)

Verdict

Desert Skyline is knocking on the door in these races and it would be no surprise to see him finally bag one in receipt of plenty of weight. Even so, MONTALY is thriving over these extreme distances and, having beaten a few of these at York last time, he looks capable of defying a penalty to do so again. A return to form for Pallasator would not surprise, while last year's winner Sheikhzayedroad and Royal Ascot hero Thomas Hobson have been more consistent this term and could have the edge over him. Fun Mac looks like a bit of each-way value at longer odds.
  1. Montaly
