Forecasts

Mutawaffer (8/15), Good Luck Fox (11/4), Royal Dynasty (9/1), Tomshalfbrother (14/1), Dance To Freedom (20/1), Melya (25/1), Khorramshahr (50/1)

Verdict

For whatever reason MUTAWAFFER failed to fire in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot having run well previously and now with a hood on for the first-time he should take plenty of beating in a race of this nature. Good Luck Fox is the other winner in the field who already has a victory over Tomshalfbrother to his name although the 7lb pull in the weights for the latter of that pair will bring them closer together. Most of the others will be headed down the nursery route once they are qualified although newcomer Royal Dynasty is bred to be useful and the Beckett yard can get one ready first-time out.
  1. Mutawaffer
