Verdict

Wesley Ward knows what it takes to win this race having won two previous renewals and the US trainer got on the board here on Thursday. MOONLIGHT ROMANCE may be able to give him another win after her impressive success at Belmont Park last time. Van Beethoven certainly shouldn't be dismissed after the form of his recent second in Listed company was franked by the third running a big race here on earlier in the week. Junius Brutus is another foreign raider not to be underestimated after his comfortable 5L success at Maisons-Laffitte last time.
  1. Moonlight Romance
  2. Van Beethoven
  3. Junius Brutus
