Forecasts

Jagwar (11/4), Vincenzo (7/2), Kim Roque (5/1), Hoe Joly Smoke (11/2), Colonel Harry (9/1), Il Ridoto (12/1), Imperial Saint (14/1), Martator (18/1), Es Perfecto (22/1), Ga Law (25/1), Glengouly (33/1)

Verdict

British-trained runners have largely held sway in this in recent years, but KIM ROQUE is taken to strike for his top Irish yard. He probably would've given the winner a scare but for a mistake at the last on his first run for Joseph O'Brien here last month and improvement is on the cards. Jagwar is 2-2 over C&D and will surely have a big say if fully tuned-up, while Vincenzo and Hoe Joly Smoke filled the places in the Paddy Power and they both have strong claims, along with Martator.

  1. KIM ROQUE (FR)
