Forecasts
Royal Marine (13/8), Skardu (3/1), Zakouski (7/2), Jackstar (10/1), Watan (12/1), Prince Eiji (12/1), Set Piece (14/1), Confiding (14/1), Global Spectrum (20/1), Momkin (28/1)
There is plenty of hype around Zakouski at present with reports that he is considered of similar ability to last year's impressive winner Masar who went on to win the Derby. His price however is more reflective of that speculation than what he achieved on debut so Godolphin's other runner ROYAL MARINE represents far better value as an un-penalised Group One winner in this Group Three. That form has been crabbed by some but Broome's demolition job at Leopardstown dispels fears that was a substandard Jean Luc Lagardere. Prince Eiji was disappointing last autumn but could yet live up to his incredible pedigree and is an intriguing runner.
