Verdict

Another competitive renewal of the feature on the card. The suggestion is TOP GAMBLE, who is the class horse in the field and doesn't meet anything like Un De Sceaux, his recent Cork conqueror, in this field. Trip and ground are ideal and despite the crushing burden that he has to shoulder, he has a decent chance from this mark. Just Cameron is on the sort of mark that should enable him to go close, while Cyrus Darius, Duke Of Navan and Pain Au Chocolat are others who could have a say.
  1. Top Gamble
  2. Just Cameron
  3. Duke Of Navan
