Forecasts

Waterville (10/11), Vellner (11/4), World Famous (13/2), Samuel Pepys (13/2), Vintage Fame (12/1), War Correspondent (28/1), Riccardi Medici (66/1), Racquet Club (200/1), Flying Argosy (300/1)

Verdict

An interesting maiden. WATERVILLE has been beaten at short odds on both starts but has nonetheless shaped with significant promise and can make it third time lucky. Joseph O'Brien sent out St Leger hero Galileo Chrome to win this in 2020 and his World Famous can fill the forecast spot ahead of the selection's stablemate Samuel Pepys.

  1. WATERVILLE (IRE)
  2. WORLD FAMOUS (IRE)
  3. SAMUEL PEPYS (IRE)
