Forecasts

Verdict

OKAMI was well found in the market and perhaps needed the experience more than the betting predicted when a fast-finishing third at Southwell earlier this month. He's taken to improve enough to get off the mark with that experience under his belt. Leadenhall who shaped like a strong stayer over 7f twice as a juvenile can emerge as the chief threat, whilst William Haggas newcomer Desert Voice also commands attention.

  1. OKAMI (IRE)
  2. LEADENHALL
  3. DESERT VOICE
