Forecasts

Diego Velazquez (2/5), Surfers Paradise (13/2), Artful Approach (7/1), Old Faithful (11/1), Queen Of Thunder (12/1), Ringside Timing (14/1), Rocking Tree (18/1), Masoun (28/1), Guildenstern (80/1), Barnso (80/1), Halberd (80/1), Burn The Bridges (150/1), Go On Go On Uhavit (200/1), Begleys Forge (300/1)

Verdict

Newcomers make the most appeal here before market clues, with 2.4 million yearling DIEGO VELAZQUEZ hard to get away from starting out for Ballydoyle. Stablemate Old Faithful and Surfers Paradise also boast good claims on paper, while Old Faithful is easily the pick of the five with experience.

  1. DIEGO VELAZQUEZ (IRE)
  2. OLD FAITHFUL (FR)
  3. SURFERS PARADISE (IRE)
