Forecasts

Helen Of Albany (6/4), Sunset Nova (7/4), Royal Court (9/2), Enough Said (14/1), Al Batal (14/1), Buzz Killington (16/1), Zippity (20/1), Countess Matilda (66/1), Smiling Emily (66/1)

Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained, ROYAL COURT can get off the mark on turf at the 10th time of asking for connections following a number of near misses since May. The Zoffany gelding can hold off the attentions of the luckless Andrew Slattery-trained, Sunset Nova who can emerge as the biggest danger. Top weight, Al Batal and newcomer, Helen Of Albany can duel for remaining prize money.
  1. Royal Court
  2. Sunset Nova
