Verdict

A tricky contest to bring down the curtain on the card. Royal Duchess absolutely loves it here and she looks set to go well again, though her draw is a potential sticking point and preference is for DECLAMATION. Alistair Whillans' gelding can go well when freshened up, as is the case here, and is also on a very competitive mark. Sea Of Green and Favourite Treat each has claims, if able to make the most of their good draws, while Magistral is feared and Sea Of Green not ruled out.
  1. Declamation
  2. Magistral
  3. Royal Duchess
