Forecasts

Laelaps (10/3), Chief Little Hawk (7/2), Hyde Park Barracks (7/2), Forest Of Dreams (7/2), The Blue Panther (8/1), Caidok (16/1), Tar Heel (18/1), Jazz Dreamers (100/1)

Trainer Aidan O'Brien boasts a 34% win and place strike rate with their stable debutantes in June since 2016 and his Air Force Blue colt, CHIEF LITTLE HAWK can get the better of two stablemates. The Seamie Heffernan-ridden half-brother to Bow Bells and Sloane Street is likely to be popular in the market to get off the mark on debut at the expense of Forest Of Dreams, a 900,000gns yearling and €250,000 yearling, Hyde Park Barracks. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Tar Heel and Laelaps for trainer Jessica Harrington could trouble the main protagonists to hit the frame.
