Verdict
ULTRAMARINE achieved a mark of 106 for Joseph O’Brien in Ireland despite failing to win. Now rated 95, he debuts for new connections and won’t have to run up that mark to land this. Saxon Village disappointed last time and Dance To Excel has undergone a second wind operation but the newcomer Solar Orbiter may prove the biggest threat as a half-brother to a couple of winners.
