Hannibal Barca (7/4), Boundless Ocean (11/4), Lyrical Poetry (4/1), Anchorage (11/2), Seisai (11/1), Sussex (14/1), Global Energy (33/1), Manbehindthemoney (50/1)

Verdict

HANNIBAL BARCA is an exciting new recruit for the Joseph O'Brien stable and can make a winning return to action for his new connections. Aidan O'Brien has a very good record in this so Anchorage, the mount of Ryan Moore from the yard's pair, is put forward as the chief threat ahead of Boundless Ocean, who acquitted himself quite well in the 2000 Guineas last month.

  1. HANNIBAL BARCA (IRE)
  2. ANCHORAGE (IRE)
  3. BOUNDLESS OCEAN (IRE)
