Forecasts

Land Force (11/10), Wargrave (13/8), Indigo Balance (5/1), Vocatus (8/1), Biltmore (12/1), Gotohawkeye (14/1), Wolfofmountstreet (25/1), Gee Rex (33/1)

Verdict

LAND FORCE shaped well enough on debut last month at Naas and the Ballydoyle colt is a likely improver now. He steps up in trip and, given how he finished last time, should be well suited and hard to topple. The market will tell more of the newcomers, with Indigo Balance and Vocatus deemed most likely to leave their mark.
