Forecasts

Kirk's Dancer (3/1), Dasmyhoss (7/2), Saga Altais (9/2), The Thruster (13/2), Zaofu (7/1), Bobeska (10/1), Golden Poet (11/1), Phil The Flyer (20/1), Duke Of Waspington (25/1), Timmone (40/1), Elusive Baroness (40/1), Allora Yeats (50/1), Arctic Sofia (66/1), Voluptueux (66/1)

Verdict

Bobeska is the obvious starting point given he finished in front of several of these rivals last time, but he is not bombproof by any means and a chance is taken with ZAOFU, who shaped well in a maiden last time and is open to improvement in a hood. Saga Altais is an obvious danger, while The Thruster has each-way prospects after a pleasing debut.
  1. Zaofu
  2. Saga Altais
  3. Bobeska
