Forecasts

U S Navy Flag (9/4), Murillo (5/2), Black Sails (10/3), Another Batt (7/1), War Ensign (8/1), Its My Turn (12/1)

Verdict

A trappy contest where none of the sextet can be easily ruled out. Another Batt easily boasts the best form on his Navan debut and should build on it but that might not be enough to score. U S Navy Flag didn't set the world alight on his recent debut and may be vulnerable to a pair of newcomers from his own yard. Murillo is bred for speed and may be better over the minimum this season given time so the vote goes to WAR ENSIGN, whose out of War Front and could have a promising 2yo season ahead. Black Sails and Its My Turn are by no means out of this on their respective debuts.
  1. War Ensign
  2. Another Batt
  3. Murillo
