Verdict

Ballyhill won this race last year and the yard have a fantastic record in the contest, with three wins in the last five years. Twiston-Davies throws also saddles the well-handicapped Foxtail Hill this time around who is respected with the possibility he will get the uncontested lead he needs. However, preference is for ASO who has proven at this level and produced an impressive reappearance at Newbury.
