Forecasts

New York City (10/11), Dancing Rebel (5/2), Sacred Territory (7/1), Special Power (8/1), Keel Bay (8/1), Lopes Gold (17/2), Life In Colour (20/1), Aurora Nova (50/1), Almunjarid (66/1), Carla's Kodi Bear (66/1), Nil Desperandum (125/1)

NEW YORK CITY is likely to prove hard to beat back in maiden company having acquitted himself well in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket recently. He only beat one rival home on that occasion, but he wasn't beaten at all far and dropping back to the minimum trip will be in his favour. Lopes Gold and Dancing Rebel can do battle for minor honours.
