Verdict

An interesting contest, where the vote goes the way of DIOMEDE DES MOTTES, who reverts to this grade after a good effort in a Grade 2 contest last time. He looks the one to beat. Vive Le Roi is much respected, having already won a Class 2, while Skandiburg, Rosy World and Bialco can't be ruled out.
  1. Diomede des Mottes
  2. Vive Le Roi
  3. Rosy World
