Verdict

YONKERS was second to two very smart Ballydoyle classic contender in his most recent two maidens as a two-year-old and that form gives him strong claims here so he gets the nod. Grandmaster Flash was second twice also at the end of last season so he rates the most obvious threat with Harpo Marx although the apparent second string of Aidan O'Brien the preferred of the Ballydoyle trio also worth respect.
  1. Yonkers
  2. Grandmaster Flash
  3. Harpo Marx
