Forecasts

Highwayman (7/4), Gregory (10/3), Caballo De Mar (5/1), Daiquiri Bay (17/2), Queenstown (14/1), Opportunity (16/1), Amelia Earhart (20/1), Amiloc (22/1), Mount Atlas (33/1), Quickthorn (150/1)

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien's upwardly-mobile stayer HIGHWAYMAN can add to his St Leger triumph and extend his winning sequence to 4 with this first go over 2m bound to suit. Caballo de Mar is a big threat on the back of his game Prix du Cadran success from the absent Scandinavia, although the rejuvenated Gregory is also well in the mix and Ebor 1-3 Daiquiri Bay and Opportunity rate lively outsiders too in this fascinating clash.
