AI Top 3 Picks
My Friend Sean (IRE)
J: Stan Sheppard · T: T Lacey
This horse is well-regarded by trainer T Lacey and could benefit significantly from a strong early pace set by the front-runners. Stan Sheppard is a capable jockey who can position him to strike late.
Vocito (IRE)
J: S Bowen · T: O Murphy
Representing a strong trainer-jockey combination, Vocito is likely to be prominent from the start. Even if challenged for the lead, his class could see him hold on for a place in this small field.
Duke Of Luckley (IRE)
J: Freddie Keighley · T: M Keighley
This horse could be an improving type who might appreciate the likely strong pace, allowing him to settle and make a late run for a minor placing.
