Verdict

This race revolves around the well-bred POET OF LIFE, who got the better of a couple of previous winners in what looked a pretty hot Newbury novice earlier this month. He can be expected to follow up here prior to going on to better things. Tendentious and Theyazin both possess potential, particularly the former, but Tres Speciale ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and she is second choice.

  1. POET OF LIFE (IRE)
  2. TRES SPECIALE
  3. TENDENTIOUS
