Verdict

Aidan O'Brien is going for six in a row in this contest and IL PARADISO looks the clear pick of his trio with the colt setting a good level of form from his last two runs last year and this Derby entrant is bred to come into his own over a trip this year. Building Bridges also hit the line on his reappearance as though he's only going to improve up in distance and rates the danger. It's hard to know what went wrong with Grandmaster Flash last time but he's a chance if the headgear works.
  1. Il Paradiso
  2. Building Bridges
  3. Grandmaster Flash
