Forecasts

Mendoza (13/8), Glory (9/2), Nuremberg (5/1), Hieronymus (8/1), Bubbelah (10/1), Joshadam (12/1), Miss Enigma (16/1), Goldino Bello (20/1), Duke of Yorkie (33/1), Running Tide (50/1), Windy Guest (66/1)

Verdict

Nuremburg looks the most interesting of the newcomers, but is unlikely to be fully wound up first time and in MENDOZA he meets a rival with solid form. The selection ran well in a stronger contest at Epsom last time and looks the one to beat. Hieronymus shapes as though this trip will suit and may give him most to do, while Glory is open to improvement and can hit the frame.
