Forecasts

Ontario (6/4), Poetic Flare (3/1), Zaffy's Pride (4/1), Erzindjan (6/1), Masen (6/1), Federal (8/1), Inca Prince (9/1), Mexico City (22/1), Star Image (200/1)

Verdict

ONTARIO brings the best form to the table and is worth forgiving his recent below-par Tipperary second when turned out quickly, so he gets the nod. Masen also wasn't seen to best effect in the National Stakes last time so is fancied to give Aidan O'Brien's colt most to do, although Poetic Flare and Erzindjan are highly respected too in an intriguing Group 3 contest.

  1. ONTARIO (IRE)
  2. MASEN
  3. POETIC FLARE (IRE)
