Forecasts

Henry Adams (1/1), Devious (7/4), Mountain Bear (15/8), Islandsinthestream (7/2), Chicago Fireball (4/1), Saxon Kingdom (40/1)

The Aidan O'Brien-trained pair are hard to split but Ryan Moore appears to prefer MOUNTAIN BEAR, so he gets the vote ahead of Henry Adams, who was a comfortable winner of a Naas maiden on debut. Islandsinthestream is another to consider.
