Verdict

ZHIGULI is very much going the right way and is taken to defy the handicapper again. Fellow joint top weight Flight Deck is another whose form has taken off in handicaps and he rates an obvious threat. J'ai Froid and the selection's stablemate Ruby Yeats are also on the shortlist in a race which looks every bit as competitive as the numbers might suggest.

  1. ZHIGULI (IRE)
  2. FLIGHT DECK (IRE)
  3. J'AI FROID (IRE)
