Selected odds by:
Classy and consistent colt who ran out an easy winner of a Chester Group 2 on return in May. Solid third in Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot next time and he sets a good standard.
|
Smart performer who landed a listed race and valuable minor event on the AW earlier this year. However, he's 0-7 in Group 2 company and above, and finished last of 4 behind Armory at Chester in May.
|
Fine fifth in the 2000 Guineas in 2020 and looked better than ever following a wind op when landing the Wolferton at Royal Ascot last month. Merits respect, for all that this a tougher assignment.
|
Progressed into a smart performer last term and hasn't done much wrong in 2 starts so far this year However, his role here is presumably to ensure that Mohaafeth gets a strong pace to aim at.
|
Impressive winner of Newmarket listed race in May and, having sidestepped the Derby, he made it 4-4 this year with another taking performance in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot. Potentially classy.

Forecasts
Mohaafeth (4/5), Armory (9/4), Juan Elcano (8/1), Bangkok (14/1), Montatham (25/1)
It was back in 2006 that this race was last won by a 3-y-o, but in MOHAAFETH the Classic generation is represented by a potential top-notch colt this year. He oozed class at Royal Ascot last month and, with Montatham likely to ensure that they go a good clip and fast ground forecast, he should prove too strong for Armory, in receipt of 12 lb from the Irish raider. Juan Elcano is best of the rest.
