Smart gelding. C&D winner. 7/4, respectable 3½ lengths third of 9 to Heart of Honor in listed race at this C&D 35 days ago. Should come on for that run and is the choice of O'Shea.

Useful horse. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Bit below form 12 lengths sixth of 13 to Imperial Emperor in Al Maktoum Mile Stakes (50/1) at this course (8f) 35 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Imperial Emperor (2/1), Heart Of Honor (5/2), Walk Of Stars (11/4), Artorius (11/2), Tumbarumba (18/1), Killer Collect (25/1), Kabirkhan (28/1), Remorse (66/1), Masmak (100/1)

Verdict

This looks to be between the Seemar pair of WALK OF STARS and Imperial Emperor, with preference for the former on jockey bookings. Heart of Honor edges it for third from Tumbarumba.

  1. Walk Of Stars11/4
  2. Imperial Emperor2/1
