Forecasts

Saxon Warrior (13/8), Verbal Dexterity (5/2), Roaring Lion (8/1), Seahenge (9/1), The Pentagon (10/1), Chilean (12/1), Loxley (25/1), Gabr (33/1), Merlin Magic (66/1), Coat Of Arms (66/1), Alfa McGuire (100/1), Theobald (100/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien could break the world record for the highest number of Group 1s in a year here and sends out four candidates, three with meaningful chances. SAXON WARRIOR won his Group 2 on soft ground at Naas last time, but seems likely to improve on better ground and remains very lightly raced having had only two starts; it's also notable he's the mount of Ryan Moore here. Roaring Lion is also undefeated and a winner in Group 2 company last time and also needs considering, while The Pentagon has more on his plate than when winning the Tyros Stakes but is also feared. If it rained heavily prior to the off, Verbal Dexterity would also have to enter calculations.
  1. Saxon Warrior
  2. Roaring Lion
  3. The Pentagon
