Verdict

Fergal O'Brien continues to churn out the winners and his NAIZAGAI gets the vote to belatedly go one better than on his debut run in this sphere here. This sort of mark shoudn't be beyond him and he can continue his trainer's rich vein of form. Catch The Cuban's temperament is seemingly improving so he could give the selection most the think about, ahead of Admiral's Sunset.

  1. NAIZAGAI
  2. CATCH THE CUBAN
  3. ADMIRAL'S SUNSET
