11/1

Foaled February 19. €380,000 Camelot colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Betty Loch and 6f-1m winner Scots Pine. Makes plenty of appeal on paper but jockey bookings suggest the stable has stronger candidates elsewhere.

Forecasts

New Zealand (10/11), Seoul Force (5/1), Action (13/2), Go Just Do It (17/2), Isaac Newton (11/1), Shaihaan (14/1), I Carry You Home (14/1), Tashakour (22/1), Giovanni Giorgio (40/1), Tiyadal (50/1), Strikewhileitshot (66/1), Contrary To Law (100/1), Captain Con (100/1), Palace Tyne (300/1), Glowgetter (300/1)

Ryan Moore gets the leg up on NEW ZEALAND who has been put in the Group 1 National Stakes over C&D later in the season and can leave his Irish Derby weekend debut behind and provide Aidan O'Brien with a fourth successive win in this race. Seoul Force shaped well on his debut and should go well, while the selection's stablemate Action and Joseph O'Brien's Go Just Do It head a host of interesting newcomers.
