Forecasts

Emily Dickinson (6/4), Rosscarbery (15/8), Okita Soushi (6/1), Gooloogong (8/1), Yashin (10/1), Amusement (11/1), Point King (14/1), Young Ireland (16/1), Sionnach Eile (22/1), Run For Oscar (25/1), John Alexander (250/1)

Verdict

EMILY DICKINSON holds the clear edge on form so this course scorer is fancied to resume winning ways on the back of her good effort in the Ascot Gold Cup. Pretty Polly fourth Rosscarbery rates the chief threat to Aidan O'Brien's smart stayer with the progressive Okita Soushi and unexposed Gooloogong appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. EMILY DICKINSON (IRE)
  2. ROSSCARBERY (GER)
  3. OKITA SOUSHI (IRE)
