Verdict

SANTINI saw off Bristol de Mai (in receipt of 2 lb) in this race at its usual home last year, and in the expectation this becomes a good test of stamina, he can repeat the trick. His old rival has the deep ground he excels on and is feared most, though Saint Calvados is dangerous getting weight from that pair if seeing out 3m fully.

  1. SANTINI
  2. BRISTOL DE MAI (FR)
  3. SAINT CALVADOS (FR)
