Forecast Prices: Infraad 3/1, Limestone 9/2, Galilean Quality 14/1, Tierra Del Toro 16/1, Whos Lope 25/1, Devils Peak 25/1, Eniac 25/1, Mythical Bay 10/1, Into The Light 7/1, Baltic Fleet 33/1, Sharkeyboy 10/1, Glory Road 14/1, Bay Of Stars 12/1, Probation 14/1, Vantage Code 12/1, My Ballyquinn 25/1, Steel Raven 66/1
LIMESTONE's defeat in the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp is only a slight blot on his otherwise unblemished record this season. The son of New Bay is a strong candidate to bounce back, dropping from a Group 1 for a first appearance in a handicap. Andrew Balding's good record in this race, combined with how results have panned out for the stable this week, suggest Mythical Bay is dangerous to underestimate. However, Infraad and Into The Light boast stronger credentials at this stage and are are championed as bigger threats to the Joseph O'Brien-trained hopeful, in that order of preference.
Prediction: 1st Limestone, 2nd Infraad, 3rd Into The Light
