Forecasts

Diodorus (5/2), Clongowes (11/4), Lightening Fast (5/1), Belgravia (6/1), Ensign (6/1), Tocco D'amore (9/1), African (14/1), Downtown Rebel (66/1), Fontainbleau (100/1)

Verdict

DIODORUS finished runner-up in a Listed contest on his final start as a two-year-old and can claim this event on his seasonal debut. Aidan O'Brien's colt shaped as if this extra furlong would suit on that occasion and he can get the better of Clongowes who ran with credit in three maiden events last October most recently when a beaten favourite at Leopardstown over 1m while Lightening Fast represents an in form yard and can claim third in this maiden event.
  1. Diodorus
  2. Clongowes
  3. Lightening Fast
