Verdict

Aidan O'Brien won this contest last year with Cougar Mountain and Sir John Lavery should go close for the yard this time around if he gets more luck in the run that he got last time. However, preference is for the improving MUSTASHRY after a smart effort at York last time out and with trainer, Sir Michael Stoute in good form at present, his four-year-old may be able to improve past his rivals here. Zonderland is another with few miles on the clock and he could be bang there if he takes a step forward from his come back run. However, Beat The Bank looks the main danger for an in form yard and his versatility from a ground, and from a tactics perspective, makes him a solid option.
  1. Mustashry
  2. Beat The Bank
  3. Sir John Lavery
