Forecasts

Australis (8/15), Nate The Great (5/1), Rochester House (15/2), Charlie D (12/1), To Be Wild (12/1), Chipiron (33/1)

Verdict

AUSTRALIS is still getting better and should be able to dominate this from the front, so he's an obvious selection ahead of Rochester House, who is still well treated on his turf form. Nate The Great isn't on a bad mark and should strip fitter for his reappearance, so he also makes plenty of appeal.

  1. AUSTRALIS (IRE)
  2. ROCHESTER HOUSE (IRE)
  3. NATE THE GREAT
