Verdict

An easy winner on his final start last season, DONALD DUX picked up where he left off (on the back of wind surgery) when runner-up at Doncaster last month. He looks more solid than most here and gets the nod to resume winning ways. Shady Character and Old Jewry are others worthy of consideration.

  1. DONALD DUX (IRE)
  2. SHADY CHARACTER
  3. OLD JEWRY (IRE)
