Verdict

A very open looking contest this but the vote goes to three-year-old ICONIC KNIGHT for the Ed Walker team who have had a fine 2018 season. Ryan Moore's mount has been progressive this season and seems effective on all ground which is a help given conditions could easily change with a dry forecast. Mullionheir went well latest at Ascot in a race he won the year before and appreciates conditions similar to the expected here so should again be involved. Delegate This Lord deserves a first win of the season and it is entirely possible here.
  1. Iconic Knight
  2. Mullionheir
  3. Delagate This Lord
