GILDING THE LILY 4/5

Hard to be confident with this many unexposed, so the yard and the jockey are doing most of the talking.

GILDING THE LILY gets the vote at 4/5 for John & Thady Gosden, ridden by Robert Havlin. John & Thady Gosden is running at 30% over the past fortnight, and the market makes it favourite.

The dangers are STAR MIRAGE at 3/1 and RIVER NILE at 9/2.
