Forecasts

Dhahabi (6/5), Guru (5/2), Jumby (9/2), Francesco Guardi (5/1), Saint Lawrence (11/2), William Bligh (13/2), Choritzo (66/1)

Verdict

Several of these possess potential, but blue-blooded duo GURU and Dhahabi are particularly exciting prospects. The former pulled clear of the rest with another potentially smart type when making a winning C&D debut and is marginally preferred to the Godolphin colt. Jumby looked good at Ascot and shouldn't be underestimated, while William Bligh will be a threat if the ground is on the easy side.
