The Mediterranean (1/1), Search For A Song (15/8), Fernando Vichi (13/2), Barrington Court (7/1), Lismore (9/1), Silence Please (10/1), Aircraft Carrier (125/1), Dinard Rose (200/1), Seattle Sound (300/1)

Verdict

THE MEDITERRANEAN upped his form again when third in the St Leger and he's back down in grade now, so is taken to land this tightly-knit affair under a positive ride. Barrington Court remains unexposed as a stayer on the Flat, so could have a bigger effort in her, while Search For A Song is an obvious player if she can recapture last year's form.

  1. THE MEDITERRANEAN (IRE)
  2. BARRINGTON COURT (IRE)
  3. SEARCH FOR A SONG (IRE)
