Forecasts

Christopher Robin (8/11), Port Lions (3/1), Saxon Warrior (8/1), Bull Hurley (12/1), Saracen Knight (14/1), The Kid Bobby B (18/1), Meagher's Flag (20/1), Fridtjof Nansen (33/1), Valkenburg (33/1), Way Back Home (50/1), Amor Fati (66/1), A Long Road Ahead (66/1), Clueless Hill (100/1), Waters Wild (100/1)

Verdict

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN was beaten only by a fellow Ballydoyle inmate on debut at Leopardstown earlier this month and he came home well clear of the remainder. With that experience behind him and Ryan Moore on board now, this looks a good spot for him to open his account. Port Lions has been showing enough in three maidens to suggest he is a live threat now tackling a mile for the first time and with new headgear added. Newcomers Meagher's Flag, Saracen Knight, Saxon Warrior, Valkenburg and The Kid Bobby B all merit some attention in the market.
  1. Christopher Robin
  2. Port Lions
  3. Saracen Knight
