Forecasts

Tower Of London (11/10), New Variant (5/2), Thunder Roll (6/1), Amusement (6/1), Shamwari (16/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for all five of these. NEW VARIANT tops the list on the back of an impressive victory in a minor event at Naas where he looked a potentially pattern-class performer in the making. Joseph O'Brien fields a couple of promising once-raced fillies in Shamwari and Thunder Roll, while Tower of London can be expected to give it a good shot and it's unlikely that Amusement will be far away either.

  1. NEW VARIANT (IRE)
  2. SHAMWARI (USA)
  3. THUNDER ROLL (IRE)
