RTE pundit Jane Mangan, Declan McDonogh and Keith Melrose join the Saturday jury
Graeme Rodway and James Knight from Coral also give their thoughts
The John Of Gaunt is the big race in Britain on Saturday. What takes your fancy?
James Knight, Coral head of racing I thought the progressive Safe Voyage should be clear favourite with proven form here in testing conditions. Of the bigger-priced runners, Suedois makes some appeal as he stays further and will handle conditions.
Declan McDonogh, jockey If the ground had been quicker at Haydock, Sir Dancealot would have been the one for me but, perhaps with monsoon-like conditions in store, the mud-loving Breton Rock might be the one who will cope best.
Keith Melrose, betting editor Having watched the Spring Trophy back, I think there is a reasonable chance Mankib can reverse form with Safe Voyage. The latter had the benefit of a recent run but it was Mankib who travelled best and recorded a career-best performance in the process. He has plenty of other form on softer than good, so conditions should be okay.
