Forecasts

House Of Aviz (5/2), Huxley (4/1), King Of Gosford (9/2), Starliner (5/1), Simplexity (7/1), Uncle Albert (10/1), Cuban Confusion (10/1), Transcending Glory (11/1), Raknah (11/1), Alto Sax (20/1), State's Evidence (20/1), Harry The Rogue (22/1), What A Squeeze (25/1), Masonbrook Meadow (25/1), McTenett (28/1), Prince X J (33/1), Lady Craftsman (66/1)

Verdict

A big-field nursery with a tentative vote going to STARLINER, who is faced with a far more suitable assignment than in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket last week. What A Squeeze is another who could bounce back now returned to handicap company, with last-time-out winner King of Gosford completing the shortlist.

  1. STARLINER (IRE)
  2. WHAT A SQUEEZE (IRE)
  3. KING OF GOSFORD
