Betting Forecast: 7-2 Navegaon Gate (GB), 5-1 Amir Kabir (GB), 13-2 Pride of England (GB), 17-2 Garden Paradise (IRE), 10-1 Duke of Condicote (GB), Sociologist (FR), 12-1 Toronto (IRE), 14-1 Frontispiece (GB), Mark of Gold (GB), 33-1 Kaloor (GB) Race Summary: It’s the time of year when 3-y-os tend to dominate these contests so NAVEGAON GATE is selected to take another step forward and strike on handicap debut for Ed Walker. Amir Kabir leaves the impression this sort of trip could suit so he’s on the shortlist along with Pride of England, another 3-y-o who could have more to give.
