Forecasts

Calandagan (6/4), Economics (2/1), Los Angeles (13/2), King's Gambit (14/1), Iresine (20/1), Royal Rhyme (25/1), Continuous (28/1), Anmaat (40/1), Nashwa (40/1), Persica (50/1), See The Fire (66/1), Novus (100/1)

Progressive 3-y-os CALANDAGAN and Economics do need to prove themselves fully effective on deep ground but they are clear on form and have the potential for even better. The former had 11 others, including Arc winner Bluestocking, well behind him when chasing home City of Troy in a strong renewal of the International at York and is narrowly preferred. Los Angeles, Iresine and Royal Rhyme can fight it out for third.
