Forecasts

Al Maslool (5/2), Yokkell (4/1), Mr Moonshine (9/2), Grey Fable (11/2), Ottoman (9/1), Sisterandbrother (9/1), Risk Averse Rebel (12/1), Imperial Trooper (25/1), Return With Gold (33/1), Kindly Queen (66/1)

Verdict

AL MASLOOL is still to get his head in front but wasn't seen to ideal effect when third at Nottingham recently so edges the vote from Irish challenger Grey Fable, who captured this prize in 2024. Mr Moonshine is another to note in a very open contest.

  1. AL MASLOOL
  2. GREY FABLE (IRE)
  3. MR MOONSHINE (IRE)
