Forecasts

Cap Saint Martin (5/6), Vorfreude (3/1), Iron Fist (9/1), Clementines Dream (11/1), Pallatine Hills (16/1), Habari (16/1), Alba Chiara (20/1), Paddydaddy (25/1), Cumberland River (33/1), Romantic War (40/1), Launch Time (150/1), Wellwhatshappenin (150/1), Folk Warrior (250/1)

Verdict

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal and having already reached a fairly useful level, CAP SAINT MARTIN is selected to make it third time lucky for the in-form Joseph O'Brien yard. The main danger may emerge from Vorfreude, who showed plenty to work on when fifth at this track last month and is open to improvement. Clementines Dream, Habari and Alba Chiara round off the shortlist.

  1. CAP SAINT MARTIN (FR)
  2. VORFREUDE (IRE)
