Forecasts

Something Nice (9/4), Heartrate (7/2), Passionate (4/1), Zaragoza (4/1), Chiketto (5/1), Semblance Of Order (7/1), Neowise (12/1), Why Comply (16/1), Parish Centre (33/1), Teejaydee (80/1), Sneddy Eddie (125/1), Red Shield (200/1), Cozy Cartel (200/1), Coach Madden (200/1)

While several of these have already shown ability, newcomers ZARAGOZA, Passionate and Neowise are likely-looking types and may well come to the fore in this maiden. They are preferred in that order, with Zaragoza, who fetched €200,000 as a yearling, especially appealing on paper. Of those with experience, Heartrate could be the pick but Something Nice is also a player, while Semblance of Order would be a threat if reproducing his peak 2-y-o form and Chiketto is open to improvement.
