Forecasts

Padesha (3/1), Lead Artist (7/2), First Conquest (4/1), Cavalry Call (13/2), Earl Of Rochester (15/2), Sanat (17/2), Pipes And Drums (12/1), Gilded Water (16/1), Dancing Away (16/1), Time To Rule (28/1), A Major Payne (66/1), Lovemeforareason (80/1), Alrobe (125/1)

Verdict

The market should provide plenty of clues with no form to go on, but PADESHA is evidently well thought of given the entries he holds, so is an obvious place to start. Charlie Appleby has an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so First Conquest makes the shortlist, while the Gosden team has won this twice in recent years and have a very interesting contender in Lead Artist.

  1. PADESHA (FR)
  2. FIRST CONQUEST
  3. LEAD ARTIST
