Navy Seal (11/4), Deepone (3/1), Stromberg (3/1), Grosvenor Square (4/1), Chief Little Rock (11/2), Ozark Daze (150/1)

Verdict

STROMBERG has created a very good impression on his last 2 outings and is taken to deny Aidan O'Brien a remarkable 22nd win in this Group 2 contest. The presence of Frankie Dettori in the saddle on Navy Seal suggests he could be the pick of the Ballydoyle maestro's trio.

  1. STROMBERG
  2. NAVY SEAL (IRE)
