Forecasts

Harry's Legacy (10/3), Jesse Evans (4/1), National Ballet (5/1), Startedwithakiss (7/1), Lynwood Gold (8/1), Monas Melody (11/1), Advantage Point (11/1), No Thanks (14/1), Curious Bride (18/1), Cozone (20/1), Western Australia (33/1), Groveman (40/1)

Verdict

NATIONAL BALLET certainly wasn't disgraced in the Irish Cesarewitch on his final appearance for Aidan O'Brien in October, and he may well be the answer if ready to roll here on his debut for the in-form Jessica Harrington yard. Next on the list is Harry's Legacy, who has improved since moving up in trip and a 6 lb rise for his breakthrough success last month at Leopardstown doesn't look too harsh. Cozone will also be a threat if he puts his best foot forward and Jesse Evans is of interest, too.

  1. NATIONAL BALLET (JPN)
  2. HARRY'S LEGACY
  3. COZONE
