Duke De Sessa (6/4), Anchorage (7/4), Swan Bay (4/1), Believe In Science (9/2), Adonis (10/1), Bluegrass (10/1), Jack Rose (16/1), Music Magic (18/1), Level Pitch (40/1), Strike Eagle (125/1), Glory Daze (150/1), Sioux Princess (150/1), Dickochea (200/1)

Verdict

This looks a warm maiden, headed by useful prospects DUKE DE SESSA and Anchorage, who both went close in the same maiden at Galway last month, the former shading the vote. Swan Bay and Believe In Science also went close first-time out so need considering, too.

  1. DUKE DE SESSA (IRE)
  2. ANCHORAGE (IRE)
  3. SWAN BAY (IRE)
