Forecasts

Mutaawid (13/8), Battle Queen (7/4), Redhot Whisper (5/2), Zoffandia (10/1), Rock Armour (25/1), Devious Devan (33/1), Tianita (80/1), The Flying Falco (300/1), Desiderata (300/1)

MUTAWID hails from an excellent family so this son of Frankel is taken to go in at the first time of asking for the in-form Gosden team. Battle Queen rates much the pick of those with experience and is a major threat with debutant Zoffandia another highly respected, epecially if the market vibes are positive.
