Forecasts

Desert Wisdom (11/4), Algiers (3/1), Secret Ambition (13/2), Prince Eiji (8/1), Golden Goal (10/1), Kafoo (12/1), Discovery Island (16/1), Everfast (16/1), Danyah (16/1), Midnight Sands (25/1), Down On Da Bayou (25/1), Island Rule (33/1), Capezzano (33/1), Desert Peace (40/1), Final Dance (40/1), Thegreatcollection (50/1), Celtic Prince (66/1)

Verdict

DESERT WISDOM was progressive last year and, if he can repeat the form he showed when second in the Godolphin Mile over C&D 9 months ago (not seen since), he should be hard to beat. Prince Eiji was an impressive winner of a listed contest with several of these rivals behind him last time, so he's feared along with Algiers.

  1. DESERT WISDOM
  2. PRINCE EIJI
  3. ALGIERS (IRE)
