Forecasts
Masaarr (7/4), Escobar (7/2), Zihba (5/1), St Patrick's Day (8/1), Threeandfourpence (8/1), Pincheck (10/1), Xenobia (10/1), Zorion (16/1), On The Go Again (16/1)
The Classic generation looks strong here and MASAARR gets the vote in first-time headgear after the colt's display in Listed class at Deauville when last seen. It's likely we haven't seen the best of St Patrick's Day just yet and he's another who gets first-time blinkers here while Zihba was unbeaten in three starts before his run in the Irish Guineas at the Curragh and he can resume progress here.
