Forecasts

Russian Emperor (11/8), Iberia (5/2), Sunchart (9/2), Agitare (7/1), Cormorant (12/1), Baby Zeus (12/1)

Aidan O'Brien has won five of the last nine renewals of this race and RUSSIAN EMPEROR looks the most interesting of his candidates this time around. He was impressive at Naas on latest start and the son of Galileo can only improve for this longer distance. His two stablemates aren't without a chance, particularly Iberia who acquitted himself well in Group company as a juvenile. Sunchart looks like a nice prospect and his chance shouldn't be underestimated.
