Forecasts

Ortelius (5/6), Invention (10/3), The Equator (7/2), Slaneyside (12/1), Mick Collins (16/1), Himalayan Heights (16/1), Inner Success (28/1), Benvoy (33/1), Granite Bay (150/1), Galway Man (200/1)

Verdict

ORTELIUS holds the edge on form so Aidan O'Brien's colt is taken to make a winning return at the chief expense of his stablemate The Equator who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Invention and Himalayan Heights appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. ORTELIUS (USA)
  2. THE EQUATOR (IRE)
  3. INVENTION (IRE)
