7/2
Invincible Spirit colt cost €300,000 as a yearling, plenty in pedigree to suggest this 5f trip in the correct starting point.

Tamayuz colt, half-brother to multiple winners though pedigree does suggest he might want a longer trip to be at his best. Time will tell.

7/2
£180,000 two-year-old Kodiac colt, bred to be speedy, may improve for this debut appearance in what looks a fairly decent contest.

Acclamation colt out of a Elnadim mare related to Hitchens and 2017 revelation Marsha. Should have learned from debut in 6f Dundalk maiden. Needs to improve.

Kodiac colt cost £210,000 as a yearling, represents trusted partnership on debut and money will likely arrive if confidence is there. Noted.

Forecasts

Verdict

Another contest where Aidan O'Brien appears to be holding the aces. EMPIRE STATE made a decent start at Dundalk recently and, with improvement likely, he could prove up to this task. Fellow Scat Daddy colt, and newcomer, Isle Of Innisfree is not to be dismissed. Wartime Hero is another first-timer deemed worthy of note while Invincible Karma falls into the same category.
  1. Empire State
  2. Isle Of Innisfree
  3. Wartime Hero
