Forecasts

Stromberg (1/5), Kiki Roberts (10/3), Romford (7/1), Apollo Prince (10/1), Cuban Confusion (16/1), Velvet Skies (28/1), Foxtrot J (40/1), Count Von Browne (40/1)

Verdict

This is best left to STROMBERG, who made a promising start to his career when runner-up on debut at Leopardstown where he pulled nicely clear of the rest. He is evidently held in high regard (holds Group-race entries) and should take this prior to going on to better things. Kiki Roberts gets the nod ahead of Romford for forecast purposes. Newcomer Apollo Prince is worth a second look in the betting.
