Forecasts

Baaeed (1/4), Adayar (6/1), Bay Bridge (10/1), My Prospero (22/1), Dubai Honour (33/1), Stone Age (40/1), Mac Swiney (50/1), Royal Champion (50/1), Helvic Dream (150/1)

Verdict

Racing immortality awaits BAAEED, who made it a perfect 10 stepped up to 1¼m for the first time in the Juddmonte International at York and can emulate Timeform's highest rated horse Frankel in ending his glittering career unbeaten. 2021 Derby-winner Adayar is a major contender on that form so he's feared most, with Bay Bridge third choice in what promises to be a race for the ages.

  1. BAAEED
  2. ADAYAR (IRE)
  3. BAY BRIDGE
