Verdict

This should be between last year's winner Apple's Jade and NICHOLS CANYON. Gordon Elliott's top mare is clearly a very big danger to the selection (especially over this trip), but Willie Mullins' charge is preferred due to the way he performed in top staying contests at the end of last season and his versatility. He has gone well fresh in the past and can claim another Grade 1 here. Cilaos Emery may prove third best now stepping up in trip given the way he impressed in novice company last season.
