Verdict

There's a strong suspicion that we've yet to see the best of BENAUD, and back over 1m, he is offered to make a successful nursery debut. Avagardner's opening mark is a very fair one and she's feared most, with Hector de Maris and Shalaalaa also considered.

  1. BENAUD (IRE)
  2. AVAGARDNER
  3. HECTOR DE MARIS (IRE)
