Forecasts

Caballo De Mar (5/6), Queenstown (7/4), Beylerbeyi (5/1), Winday (6/1), Ascending (13/2), Epic Poet (14/1), Berkshire Sundance (14/1), Peace Belle (100/1)

Verdict

QUEENSTOWN looks interesting in receipt of 5 lb from dual Group 1 winner Caballo de Mar (who hasn't fired on his last couple of starts), and he's taken to give Aidan O'Brien a first success in this race since 2008. Top-end handicapper Ascending appeals as a sporting each-way bet at the forecast prices, in what hardly looks a stellar renewal.
