15/8
€155,000 yearling; his best effort on turf came when beaten 1L by Elysian Flame at Haydock (1m, heavy) in October; promises to be suited by stepping up in trip on Tapeta - dam was a 1m1½f AW winner; player.

8/11
Second foal from a 1m1f-1m4f Group 1 winning dam (in South Africa); holds an entry in the Derby at Epsom in June; trainer well-known for introducing talented newcomers at Newcastle (Enable et al); obvious chance.

9/2
100,000gns yearling; ran to a similar level of form on both starts as a juvenile (1m turf); bred to stay this longer trip - dam Saphira's Fire was a 1m3f Listed winner; making his AW debut.

100/1
Camelot filly (€20,000 yearling); has previous experience of racing on Tapeta at Newcastle (1m), but the actual worth of that form is questionable and she's predicted to struggle accordingly; new trip.

Forecasts

El Misk (8/11), Coup De Gold (15/8), Purdey's Gift (9/2), Rochester House (22/1), Well Funded (100/1)

Verdict

John Gosden has introduced many talented new recruits at Gosforth Park since Flat racing switched to the AW in May 2016, with the dual Arc de Triomphe winner Enable the very cream of that crop. With an impressive overall strike-rate of 35% (30/85) here, the all too obvious pick is his newcomer and Epsom Derby entrant EL MISK. Of the remainder, the steadily progressive (and upped in trip) Coup De Gold rates as the most likely danger.
  1. El Misk
  2. Coup De Gold
  3. Purdey's Gift
