Forecasts

Latrobe (3/1), Platinum Warrior (7/2), Ming (11/2), Conclusion (6/1), Harvestfortheworld (7/1), Sarrocchi (8/1), Boho (16/1), Sizzling (16/1), Cimeara (40/1), Irish Minister (50/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won eight of the last 10 renewals of this race and it's likely to be significant Moore sides with Conclusion but the maiden will have to take a sizable step forward form what he's done so far. Stablemate Latrobe is an interesting contender who ran well on return last time and may come forward for that effort. However, PLATINUM WARRIOR sets the standard on form after an excellent effort in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown last time and he's still unexposed.
  1. Platinum Warrior
  2. Latrobe
