Forecasts

Armory (6/5), Sangarius (11/5), Bangkok (7/2), Palavecino (11/1), Bharani Star (33/1)

Verdict

ARMORY brings strong Group 1 form having finished placed in the Irish Champion at Leopardstown and this tight track should hold no fears having also finished runner-up in the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley. Sangarius has been seen only twice since his impressive win at Royal Ascot in 2019 but remains with potential and had Bangkok and Palavecino in behind when scoring at Lingfield in December.
