Forecasts

De Young Warrior (5/4), Queenohearts (9/4), Moroder (5/1), Grand Mogul (11/2)

Verdict

Impossible to rule out any of the quartet but DE YOUNG WARRIOR is a very strong stayer who isn't finished improving yet so Jeremy Scott's charge gets the verdict to maintain his unbeaten record in this sphere. Grand Mogul has clearly had his issues but he can chase the selection home provided he's ready to roll on reappearance, ahead of Queenohearts.

  1. DE YOUNG WARRIOR
  2. GRAND MOGUL (IRE)
  3. QUEENOHEARTS (IRE)
