Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won this race for the last two years and his CHRISTMAS can provide him with further success following a maiden victory last time. The selection is improving with experience and can see off Highland Fortune who ran well in a better race last time. Third place can go to Chicago May who is defending an unbeaten record having won on debut.
  1. Christmas
  2. Highland Fortune
  3. Chicago May
