Spoken Truth (9/4), Chief Little Rock (11/4), The Equator (11/2), Mundi (13/2), Stromberg (15/2), Formal Display (12/1), Ecureuil Secret (14/1), Norwalk Havoc (14/1), Vestigia (33/1)

It looks significant that Ryan Moore has opted to ride MUNDI ahead of Chief Little Rock, who is a proven Group-class performer. Indeed, Mundi looked very promising indeed when landing a Dundalk maiden on debut last month and this superbly-bred colt possesses stacks of potential. Spoken Truth is also promising and he is third choice, albeit only marginally as there's another promising Ballydoyle colt on show in The Equator, while Norwalk Havoc and Stromberg are no back numbers either.
