Forecasts

My Oberon (10/11), Tasaamuh (7/2), El Ray (13/2), Cityzen Serg (7/1), Nitro Express (8/1), Sidereal (17/2), Thunder Gap (33/1), Purple Knight (50/1), Dawn Blaze (50/1)

Verdict

A market check is advised with El Ray who is well-bred and wouldn't have to be a superstar to make a winning debut. Sidereal is respected, and if he can take as big a step forward as he did when last seen he has major claims. William Haggas has a 17% strike-rate on the Knavesmire and it would be no surprise to see My Oberon improve that record given he should improve a fair bit from his debut effort at HQ. In an open race though, we'll go with TASAAMUH who switches to turf after posting a solid debut effort when placed at Kempton. He wouldn't need to improve too much on that form to get off the mark at the second attempt.
  1. Tasaamuh
  2. My Oberon
  3. El Ray
