Verdict

AQABAH looks like the one to beat after a fine effort at Royal Ascot last time and that sets a decent standard for the rest to aim at. Stablemate Zaman should appreciate this step up in trip and this trainer/jockey combination landed this contest last year but it's Gustav Klimt who may prove the main danger to the selection after scoring with a certain degree of ease on his second start.
  1. Aqabah
  2. Zaman
  3. Gustav Klimt
