Forecasts

Point Gellibrand (13/8), Janoobi (2/1), Minister Of War (11/2), Hotel Wren (8/1), Samuel Pepys (12/1), Serafina (14/1), Yashin (18/1), Theophilos (33/1), Baroque Artist (50/1), Our Scholar (50/1), Flying Argosy (125/1), Red Trail (200/1), Midnight Treasure (200/1), Dulargy Star (300/1), Lightly Spiced (300/1), Sovereignty (300/1), Man Johnny (300/1)

Verdict

HOTEL WREN shaped well on his two starts as a juvenile, latterly going close in a 6f Cork maiden, and improvement is on the cards now that he's faced with a stiffer test. Noel Meade's charge is marginally peferred to Point Gellibrand, who wasn't disgraced in a Group 2 at the Curragh when last seen in August. Minister of War is third choice, while his stablemate Samuel Pepys is one to note in the betting and Janoobi is open to improvement.

  1. HOTEL WREN (IRE)
  2. POINT GELLIBRAND (IRE)
  3. MINISTER OF WAR (IRE)
