Forecasts

Chianti Classico (2/1), King Turgeon (9/4), Java Point (6/1), The Newest One (15/2), Ballygrifincottage (8/1), Our Power (20/1), Chambard (25/1), Izino D'airy (40/1)

Verdict

CHIANTI CLASSICO and King Turgeon are a pair of chasers firmly on the up but the former is the less exposed/classier of the two and he's taken to land this before a likely step back up in grade. Java Point arrives on the back of a likeable effort at the track and could make his presence felt again.

  1. CHIANTI CLASSICO (IRE)
  2. KING TURGEON (FR)
  3. JAVA POINT (IRE)
