Verdict
ALCANTOR can make a winning start for Joseph O'Brien. Having won three Group 3s and been placed twice at the top level in France, the New Bay entire sets the standard in this Listed contest. Connections can hope a change of scenery will do him good this term. English raider Excellent Believe already has a solid run under his belt this season, having finished third in the Doncaster Mile Stakes in late March. He could be a big player. Dual course and distance winner Mutasarref has a rating of 109 but needs to improve on last month's seasonal return.
Expert View Verdict
ALCANTOR showed a consistent level of form in France where he was a multiple Group winner and escaping a penalty he should have too much for these rivals on his stable debut. He would ideally want some rain but a sound surface would suit course specialist Mutasarref who didn't handle the soft ground on his reappearance. The veteran has proven consistent at this level for some time and looks the obvious danger along with the sole filly in the line up Catalina Delcarpio. She was highly tried last year after a debut victory here and shaped well in the Park Express on her return until her fitness gave way.
