Forecasts

Kalidasa (1/3), Ground Run (7/1), By Farhh The Best (10/1), Alvesta (11/1), Katstar (11/1), Organic (14/1), Pilgrim Of Culture (20/1), John L Sullivan (50/1), Isabelle (150/1), Lightning Bay (150/1), Above The Line (200/1), Eskimo Flo (200/1)

This will go to a newcomer, with Godolphin's regally-bred KALIDASA, the most expensive yearling sold at auction in 2022, the obvious call. Pilgrim of Culture and Ground Run don't have the price-tag/stunning pedigree of the selection but are also of interest.
