10/1

Forecasts

Modern News (11/10), Chindit (5/2), My Oberon (11/4), Tyrrhenian Sea (3/1), Perotto (10/1)

Little between these on form but TYRRHENIAN SEA arrives on the up and is fancied to add to his three tapeta wins and make a winning debut on turf. My Oberon is already a dual scorer in 2022 and rates a big threat to Roger Varaian's lightly-raced 4-y-o, with C&D scorer Modern News another who can't be taken lightly in a tightly-knit listed contest.
