Forecasts

Magical (11/10), Madhmoon (5/1), Elarqam (5/1), Headman (11/2), Deirdre (11/1), Anthony Van Dyck (12/1), Magic Wand (20/1), Hunting Horn (66/1)

Verdict

MAGICAL can gain compensation for a string of second placed efforts having kept some very smart company on each of her last three starts and she can give Aidan O'Brien his first success in this race since 2011. There's seemingly little to separate several of her rivals but a repeat of Elarqam's third in the Juddmonte last time out might be enough to hit the frame. In the same ownership, Madhmoon rates as the main danger to the selection on his first try at this trip.
