Shamrokh (11/8), Poetic Force (11/4), Cyrus Dallin (10/3), Spinwheel (5/1)
SHAMROKH could be hard to beat and is proven on this surface after a win on his second start at Newcastle. His opening mark looks fair based on that result but he wouldn't want to get into a likely battle with the Mark Johnson front-runner Spinwheel who will be tough to pass. Cyrus Dallin should continue his progress on first start for this yard after leaving John Gosden's stable.
