Forecasts

Wordsworth (5/2), Mcpherson (16/5), Artistic Work (11/2), High Definition (7/1), Abstract (7/1), Chicago Black Hawk (9/1), Covert Mission (14/1), Flying Visit (33/1), Men Of Dreams (33/1), Papal Bee (100/1), Dontspillthestout (100/1), Acclamadic (150/1)

Verdict

No surprise were newcomers to dominate this, with the Galileo colts particularly appealing. WORDSWORTH has a Group 1 entry and is marginally preferred in favour of stablemate High Definition before the benefit of market vibes. Abstract is another very likely type on paper.

  1. WORDSWORTH (IRE)
