King Neptune (2/5), In The Present (11/2), Ickworth (8/1), Moments Linger (12/1), American Lady (25/1), Kocasandra (33/1), Ampeson (33/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien runners often take a big step forward from their debut runs and that should hold KING NEPTUNE in good stead provided he handles conditions here. Ickworth is a well bred filly expected to improve on just her second start while In The Present is another Dundalk winner who is respect for connections who do well with their juveniles.
  1. King Neptune
  2. Ickworth
  3. In The Present
