Forecasts

Gstaad (7/4), Distant Storm (9/4), Zavateri (9/2), Oxagon (9/1), Italy (12/1), Gewan (25/1), Pacific Avenue (33/1), Saba Desert (33/1), Alparslan (50/1)

Verdict

ZAVATERI is a juvenile of some merit, having edged out Gstaad in his own backyard in the National Stakes at the Curragh 4 weeks ago, and this tough and uncomplicated colt can become the eighth horse this century to complete the National Stakes/Dewhurst double. Gstaad is a huge threat again given the margins involved at the Curragh, while Distant Storm looked very exciting when winning a C&D Group 3 late last month.

  1. ZAVATERI (IRE)
  2. GSTAAD
  3. DISTANT STORM
