Forecasts

Noble Dynasty (2/1), Nostrum (5/2), Pogo (7/2), Tiber Flow (7/2), Witch Hunter (4/1), Dear My Friend (14/1)

Charlie Appleby's NOBLE DYNASTY takes a step up in grade here but this half-brother to the high-class miler Barney Roy looks capable of better so gets the nod in an open Criterion Stakes. John of Gaunt winner Tiber Flow rates a big threat though, while Queen Anne fourth Witch Hunter and 2022 victor Pogo can't be discounted easily either.
