Forecasts

Sinawann (6/5), So Suave (4/1), Masteroffoxhounds (7/1), New World Tapestry (8/1), Celtic High King (8/1), Confidence High (16/1), Dalvey (22/1)

Verdict

New World Tapestry will find this easier than the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot last time but so, too, will SINAWANN who ran a very encouraging race in the Irish 2,000 Guineas on his reappearance. The Kingman colt was second in a Group 2 over C&D last season on his second run and remains open to plenty progress here. The quartet of Confidence Is High, Dalvey, Masteroffoxhounds and So Suave bring winning form into this but, like Celtic High King, must improve in better company now.
  1. Sinawann
  2. New World Tapestry
  3. Celtic High King
