Verdict

PYLEDRIVER enjoyed an excellent 2020 and is fancied to make a winning return under ground conditions that suit him very well. Al Zaraqaan takes a big step up in class but William Haggas' fast-improving colt shouldn't be underestimated. Mark Johnston saddles two and his Sir Ron Priestley appeals as the pick of the pair.

  1. PYLEDRIVER
  2. AL ZARAQAAN
  3. SIR RON PRIESTLEY
