Verdict

A smashing handicap to kick off, with the vote in favour of ELYSIAN FLAME. A winner over 2m at Newbury in April, he's still fairly low-mileage on the level and ran as well as he ever has done when third in the Ascot Stakes last time. Forecast conditions look ideal and another big run is anticipated. The Grand Visr, Platform Nineteen and last year's winner Just Hubert complete the shortlist.

  1. ELYSIAN FLAME
  2. THE GRAND VISIR
  3. PLATFORM NINETEEN (IRE)
