Forecasts

Master Of The Seas (11/4), La Barrosa (4/1), Devilwala (15/2), Akmaam (15/2), Sandhurst (9/1), Khartoum (9/1), The Rosstafarian (12/1), Royal Air Force (14/1), Imperial Sands (16/1), Mystery Smiles (22/1)

Verdict

LA BARROSA has been passed over by William Buick in favour of Master of The Seas, but he arguably possesses the greater potential and a line can be drawn through his latest run in France on account of the testing conditions. Aidan O'Brien's duo Khartoum and Sandhurst are intriguing contenders, while Devilwala needs considering and Royal Air Force is an unknown quantity.

  1. LA BARROSA (IRE)
  2. MASTER OF THE SEAS (IRE)
  3. KHARTOUM (USA)
