Verdict

Aidan O'Brien won this last year and he runs Land Force this time but he might have his work cut out with some of these rivals. SHANG SHANG SHANG looks like a fascinating US raider for Wesley Ward and she arrives here with a big reputation after her win at Keeneland on debut. The filly gets the services of top jockey Joel Rosario for just her second start and she may be a class above her rivals here. Vintage Brut and Konchek meet again and the latter may be able to reverse the form from their run in Listed class last time out when he was poorly drawn.
  1. Shang Shang Shang
  2. Konchek
  3. Vintage Brut
