Verdict

A cracking race in prospect and one that probably revolves around whether APPLE'S SHAKIRA can settle better in a hood than she did when pulling away her chance as hot favourite for the Triumph Hurdle last month. She had looked the best of this lot going into that race and is given another chance to add a Grade 1 to her CV. Stable companion We Have A Dream looks the chief danger on paper and if the filly fails to fire then he can benefit. Malaya is afforded plenty of respect along with Nube Negra, while at longer prices Padleyourowncanoe and the unexposed Et Moi Alors look interesting.
  1. Apple's Shakira
  2. We Have A Dream
  3. Et Moi Alors
