Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has an expected strong hand in this race and it might be worth taking a chance on the second string ASTRONOMER after an impressive success last time when he had a few of these in behind. Sharjah has to be respected on his return to the Flat while stablemate to the selection Saracen Knight may improve for his most recent outing.
  1. Astronomer
  2. Sharjah
