Unquestionable (15/8), Noche Magica (2/1), His Majesty (5/2), Bucanero Fuerte (7/2), Sturlasson (7/2), Valiant Force (7/1), Vanity Pays (8/1), Love Ya (9/1), Blame Thechampagne (22/1)
NOCHE MAGICA created a very good impression on his Cork debut last month and can confirm he's a smart prospect. Bucanero Fuerte also arrives on the back of a promising debut success and looks the chief threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Aidan O'Brien newcomers His Majesty and/or Unquestionable.
