Forecasts

Canute (10/11), Subzero (9/2), Save Your Love (17/2), Malbay Madness (9/1), Satin (12/1), Pearl Of Australia (12/1), Gimmie Shelter (14/1), Signora Bellissima (16/1), Kalikapour (20/1), Giselles Defence (20/1), Aurifodina (28/1), Autocrat (50/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien appears to hold all the aces in the Premier Handicap, with CANUTE fancied to build upon his fast-finishing return at the Curragh to get the better of his similarly unexposed stablemate Subzero. Johnny Murtagh's Signora Bellissima makes most appeal of the remainder.

  1. CANUTE (USA)
