Verdict
The pair with experience haven't shown much so this should go to a newcomer. Jim Bolger won the race a year ago and the €135,000 Teofilo colt Fleetfoot is from a top USA family on his dam's side. Atlantic Charter is by Churchill out of a mare from the family of Irish 2000 Guineas winner Power while Magnetar is a half-brother to four winners. TOWER OF LONDON is a full-brother to Capri and five other winners and should be ideally suited by this trip on his debut so gets the vote.
