Forecasts

Giorgio Vasari (11/10), To Glory (5/2), Magnanimous (4/1), The Blue Panther (15/2), Rich Law No Law (12/1), Procellarum (16/1), Warrior Brave (25/1), Bramble Sand (66/1), Cisco Disco (100/1), Tabarly (150/1)

The Aidan O'Brien-trained GIORGIO VASARI should have too much in the locker for his rivals here. The Air Force Blues colt ran with credit in defeat on debut behind State Of Rest in a 6f contest earlier this month and can improve on that effort here. The Michael Mulvany colt, The Blue Panther may well, once again, have to settle for a minor honour following a couple of solid efforts earlier this month. Magnanimous for Joseph O'Brien and the Footstepsinthesand gelding Bramble Sound can compete for remaining prize money, while To Glory for the Ger Lyons-yard appears to be the best of the newcomers.
