Forecasts

Auguste Rodin (13/8), Chaldean (7/2), Little Big Bear (5/1), Noble Style (10/1), Royal Scotsman (11/1), Silver Knott (14/1), Sakheer (16/1), Holloway Boy (18/1), Indestructible (25/1), Dubai Mile (33/1), Flight Plan (40/1), Charyn (66/1), Hi Royal (125/1), Galeron (150/1)

Verdict

AUGUSTE RODIN did everything right at 2 and can become the fourth horse (and third from his yard) since 2018 to complete the Futurity/2000 Guineas double. His stablemate Little Big Bear is bred to stay 1m and would be a major threat if reproducing anything close to his Phoenix Stakes form. Chaldean suffered an unfortunate experience on his reappearance but his juvenile form stacks up well and he can prove best of the home team ahead of Sakheer, who is already smart but isn't certain to stay 1m.

  1. AUGUSTE RODIN (IRE)
  2. LITTLE BIG BEAR (IRE)
  3. CHALDEAN
