Verdict

CARAVAGGIO may be up to maintaining his unbeaten record and with more improvement entirely possible, he's hard to oppose. Harry Angel ran well last time behind the selection and may take another step forward while Limato ran well last time out at the Royal meeting and shouldn't be ruled out of landing back-to-back renewals of this contest.
  1. Caravaggio
  2. Harry Angel
  3. Limato
