Verdict

A fascinating renewal, with half the field putting unbeaten records on the line. TRITONIC looked as good a juvenile as has been seen in Britain when bolting up in the Adonis at Kempton last month and gets the vote to improve further and strike for Alan King. Zanahiyr and Quilixios will provide some serious opposition however, and can chase the selection home in that order.

  1. TRITONIC
  2. ZANAHIYR (IRE)
  3. QUILIXIOS
