Verdict

Last season was a write-off for WELSH SAINT, but he will be a big player if returning to action for his new yard in good order. Indeed, the 7-y-o is 2 lb lower than for his latest success and he still has relatively low mileage. Dolphin Square also resumes on an attractive mark and he is second choice, albeit only marginally as Shah An Shah and Blackjack Kentucky are also shortlisted.

  1. WELSH SAINT (FR)
  2. DOLPHIN SQUARE (IRE)
  3. SHAH AN SHAH
