Verdict

A chance is taken on Robin Dickin's 11-y-o GALACTIC POWER, who bounced back to some form after 9 months off when runner-up at Ludlow last month, giving best only to an unpenalised previous winner. He hasn't won for a while, but looks to have every chance of bucking that trend here. Panatos' mark continues to fall so he's a tentative selection for second, ahead of Milreu Has and Russian Service.

  1. GALACTIC POWER (IRE)
  2. PANATOS (FR)
  3. MILREU HAS (FR)
