Verdict

ITALY and Star Chamber are appealing newcomers representing top connections and it will be interesting to see which way they both go in the betting. Preference as things stand is for the Aidan O'Brien-trained Italy. Ipanema Beach and Estoublon are both open to improvement and can do battle for minor honours.
