Forecasts

Trojan Fighter (13/8), Diligo (15/8), Ballyadam (16/5), Chairmanforlife (9/1), Battling Siki (20/1), Oust (33/1), Must Meet Cecil (40/1), Goodie Girl (40/1), Sir Trancealot (50/1), Nothingbutadream (300/1)

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien's DILIGO made a promising start when fourth in a Gowran maiden and this Wootton Bassett colt can build on it to get off the mark. Smart hurdler Ballyadam can't be discounted on just his third outing on the Flat, while Trojan Fighter and Battling Siki appeal as the pick of the remainder.

  1. DILIGO (IRE)
