Verdict

ORTELIUS has shaped with encouragement on each of his three outings to date, shaping like this step up in trip will be firmly in his favour, so this seven-figure yearling purchase is worth a chance to defy an opening mark of 85 at the possible expense of Cow Chico, an impressive winner at Dundalk last time. Natural Ruler is one of several others with potential.

  1. ORTELIUS (USA)
  2. COW CHICO (IRE)
  3. NATURAL RULER (IRE)
