Verdict

CAROLE'S DESTRIER and the younger Native River may very well fight out the finish again, just as they did in the Hennessy, but with the former reversing the placings. Cheltenham winner Theatre Guide and the well handicapped Onenightinvienna are two other improvers who can follow them home. 1. Carole's Destrier 2. Native River 3. Theatre Guide
