Verdict

The unexposed SATURN FIVE showed plenty in 3 starts for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last season and he is of strong interest here given the likelihood of improvement now pitched into a handicap for new connections. Though below par at Doncaster recently, First Officer will be a danger to all if able to reproduce something akin to his peak 2022 form. He is second choice ahead of Mustazeed, while Chantico could also have a part to play if the fitting of a hood helps him settle.

  1. SATURN FIVE (IRE)
  2. FIRST OFFICER (IRE)
  3. MUSTAZEED (IRE)
