Forecasts

Purple Lily (10/11), Portland (9/4), Chicago Critic (4/1), Orderofthephoenix (18/1), Nativity Square (33/1)

PURPLE LILY looked potentially smart when overcoming greenness to make a winning start in impressive fashion at Galway in August so can find the required improvement to beat Portland, who sets a clear standard judged on his third in the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud in the autumn.
