Forecasts

Verdict

SWORD OF FATE won from 5 lb higher here last season and his last 2 starts have produced rejuvenated performances, so he's fancied to take this. Fourth of July's connections stick with this longer trip but he's the obvious danger on form, whilst Fresh New Dawn is interesting on return from a break.

  1. SWORD OF FATE (IRE)

  3. FRESH NEW DAWN (IRE)
