Forecasts
Path Of Thunder (5/4), Encipher (6/4), Kingbrook (7/1), Boomer (10/1), Glory Maker (25/1)
The Godolphin ranks will no doubt be bitterly disappointed if this juvenile novice contest doesn't fall to one of their two representatives. Encipher cost a tidy sum as a yearling (425,000gns) and merits respect on debut for the masterful John Gosden. However, PATH OF THUNDER has the previous experience, is improving with racing and has some pretty solid form in the book. Despite being as green as grass on debut at Newmarket (5f) he was beaten just over 5L by the subsequent Group 2 Coventry Stakes runner-up Threat. He bettered that performance over 6f at Yarmouth (second) and should have no real issues with today's longer trip.
