Verdict

George Dryden ran well behind ENCORE D'OR last time and needs careful consideration at the weights, but ultimately the second-named runner is the class act in this race and may well be able to win again here even off a big weight. He has a 50% strike-rate at the course and won here last time in a race where he may have been better value than the winning distance of a neck. Tomily was placed in a Listed race here last time and completes the shortlist.
  1. Encore d'Or
  2. George Dryden
  3. Tomily
