Verdict

The Noel Meade-trained CRASSUS has finished runner-up on his last 3 Flat starts and can deservedly get his head in front for the first time in this sphere now. We'll Go Again has been in good form under both codes this summer and rates an obvious danger. Abstract and Alvaro are also on the shortlist.

  1. CRASSUS (IRE)
  2. WE'LL GO AGAIN (IRE)
