Forecasts

The Euphrates (9/4), Old Faithful (5/2), Kolachi (7/2), Thor's Hammer (9/2), Chantilly (13/2), Man Of Worth (16/1), Vadali (33/1), You Done Well (125/1), Nobody (250/1), Magic Defense (250/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien saddles 3 interesting runners, with THE EUPHRATES arguably the most interesting of the trio given his eye-catching debut under a kind ride. Old Faithful sets the standard, while support for Man of Worth on debut would need respecting.

  1. THE EUPHRATES
  2. OLD FAITHFUL (FR)
  3. MAN OF WORTH (IRE)
