Forecasts

Smile A Mile (8/11), Murqaab (4/1), Sabre (15/2), Jazz Hands (11/1), So Hi Speed (12/1), Moojim (16/1), Howzer Black (20/1), Klopp (33/1)

Verdict

A field of eight newcomers, so without being privy to inside information, not a race in which to form a strong viewpoint. Murqaab ticks plenty of boxes on pedigree and cost the most at 85,000 gns, but that's not always the best pointer to success. So Hi Speed has a US dirt based background, so shouldn't be troubled by racing on Tapeta for a trainer who saddled a first time out three-year-old winner at this track on Good Friday (Cowboy Soldier). However, we'll chance the Mark Johnston trained SMILE A MILE. His trainer knows this family line well, having saddled his half-brother Buratino to Coventry Stakes success at Royal Ascot in 2015.
  1. Smile A Mile
  2. Sabre
  3. Murqaab
