Verdict

A typically competitive renewal which can go to CAP DU NORD, who shaped very well indeed on his Wincanton reappearance 3 weeks ago. That spin will have teed him up nicely for this and he's just 1 lb above his last winning mark. Kapcorse, successful in this race 2 years ago, remains unexposed and is feared greatly, despite the lengthy layoff. Highest Sun and Court Master are also shortlisted.

  1. CAP DU NORD (FR)
  2. KAPCORSE (FR)
  3. HIGHEST SUN (FR)
