Verdict

OLYMPIC CONQUEROR was let down by his jumping at Huntingdon last time, but he still sets the standard on his previous form so has to be considered the one to beat. Byzantine Empire caught the eye under a considerate ride at Newbury and could improve quite a lot.

  1. OLYMPIC CONQUEROR (IRE)
