Pendulum (15/8), Atomic City (3/1), Glyfada (4/1), Canary Island (11/2), Galileo Noir (11/1), Blue Blue Moon (12/1), Scientific (12/1), Chamonix (20/1), Avoca Woods (40/1)

Verdict

The market should prove informative ahead of this relatively valuable maiden, but Irish Derby entrant ATOMIC CITY sets a fair standard on his debut third here and with improvement expected, he gets the nod. Newcomer Glyfada also holds a Group 1 entry and makes plenty of pedigree appeal, while Pendulum looks the pick of the Ballydoyle trio on jockey bookings.
