Forecasts

Ropey Guest (5/4), Cherokee Trail (7/2), Thrill Seeker (4/1), Business (11/2), Hlaitan (8/1), Zafeer (8/1), Zegalo (16/1), Macho Boy (16/1), What An Angel (25/1), Ruby Power (40/1)

Verdict

An interesting opener with some leading yards represented by some well-bred newcomers but the last four runs of ROPEY GUEST in pattern company set a very high standard for the others to beat. John Gosden has won this race twice in recent years with newcomers and so Cherokee Trail is respected whilst Zafeer would've gone close on debut with a better start and should be more streetwise now.
  1. Ropey Guest
