Forecasts

Creative Force (8/13), Ehraz (5/1), Jumby (15/2), Tiber Flow (8/1), Garrus (9/1), Silky Wilkie (9/1), Fast Response (10/1), Commanche Falls (20/1), Saint Lawrence (40/1)

Verdict

Provided he is fully tuned-up, CREATIVE FORCE will prove hard to beat for his powerful, in-form connections. The 5-y-o failed to add to his tally in 2022 but performed with plenty of credit in four of the hottest sprints of the season and this should serve as the perfect springboard for a return to Group 1 company soon enough. Garrus, who was only just denied in this race 12 months ago, is second choice ahead of Ehraz and Jumby.
