Forecasts

Murray River (10/11), Debbonair (9/4), Lady Cosette (7/2), Navadir (4/1), Warrior Display (20/1)

No standout contender, so the market could potentially offer the most pertinent clues. Murray River is deserving of respect based upon the Gosden/Dettori partnership alone and isn't necessarily fully exposed on a synthetic surface either. However, it's probably worth acknowledging that at this stage of their racing careers both Navadir and DEBBONAIR appear more progressive. The selection deployed a smart turn of foot when winning on his penultimate start at Kempton (1m). If this potent weapon can be harnessed by his rider Oisin Murphy until the closing stages, he's capable of handling this longer trip.
