Ephesus (13/8), Rosso (7/2), Kalkanli (7/2), Sidiza (11/2), Aztec Sun (11/1), Kaptain Bay (12/1), Pearl Jewel (12/1), Polaris Dancer (22/1), Ice Opera (50/1), Valjean (100/1), Hollies Choice (300/1), Loch Awe (300/1)

Verdict

EPHESUS is the clear form pick based on his debut form and, if he can put a lesser effort behind him he can get the better of the likes of Polaris Dance and Sidiza, who are both open to improvement.

  1. EPHESUS (IRE)
  2. POLARIS DANCER (IRE)
  3. SIDIZA (IRE)
