Verdict

A tricky start to the evening but the vote goes to RED FORCE ONE who showed enough on his first start following a long break to suggest a race such as this could be just right for him. There are plenty of dangers, including Goodwood winner Lord Vetinari, Poet's Dawn and Brigand, while Gabrial The Devil runs for an owner who loves nothing better than a winner here and may do better over this longer trip.
  1. Red Force One
  2. Poet's Dawn
  3. Lord Vetinari
