Forecasts

Edward Thatch (1/1), Confucius (5/4), New Yorker (13/8), Two Brigade (12/1), Lars Soldier (18/1), Santorini Storm (18/1), New Mexico (20/1), Santo Parvenue (40/1), Fiery Anne (100/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien unleashes his first 2-y-o runners of the season in this maiden, namely NEW YORKER and Confucius. Both naturally make plenty of appeal on paper and, unless the betting suggests otherwise, New Yorker is probably the way to go, given that he's Ryan Moore's pick. Two Brigade may prove to be best of the rest, ahead of Edward Thatch and New Mexico, both of whom represent the Robson De Aguiar yard.

  1. NEW YORKER (USA)
  2. CONFUCIUS (IRE)
  3. TWO BRIGADE (IRE)
