Crystal Black (11/10), The Euphrates (6/5), Safecracker (10/1), Crypto Force (12/1)
CRYSTAL BLACK made it 5 wins from his last 6 outings when scooting clear at Royal Ascot in June and Gerard Keane's remarkably progressive gelding can make a successful transition to pattern company at the expense of The Euphrates, who opened his account for the year in a listed event at Gowran recently and gets plenty of weight from his rivals being the sole 3-y-o. Safecracker, who was well beaten in this when staged at Naas last year, can fill out third.
