16/1

11/4, won 12-runner maiden at Sligo (5.7f, good) 45 days ago, suited by increase in trip. This is a much tougher assignment and Dickiedooda is clearly the stable first-string.

Forecasts

Dense Star (13/8), New Treasure (3/1), Dickiedooda (7/2), Tammany Hall (12/1), Lady Princess (16/1), Bell I Am (16/1), Finest (16/1), Queens Carriage (25/1)

It's hard to look beyond NEW TREASURE, who left his debut well behind when running out the surprise winner of a Group 3 at the Curragh last month. He remains open to plenty of improvement and holds an entry in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket next month. Dickiedooda is clearly talented, but Dense Star, who opened her account in good style at Navan recently, is preferred for forecast purposes.
