Forecasts

Emily Dickinson (2/5), Dawn Rising (8/1), Okita Soushi (9/1), Point King (12/1), Yashin (14/1), Stratum (14/1), Cairde Go Deo (16/1), Moon Daisy (50/1), Icykel (66/1)

EMILY DICKINSON shot herself to the head of the market for the Ascot Gold Cup when producing a very smart performance to win a listed race at Navan on her return so should prove hard to beat. Okita Soushi and Stratum can fight out minor honours.
