Verdict

SANTONITO made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up at Fairyhouse and he is taken to go one better this time. That said, Embassy Gardens makes plenty of appeal on paper and it will certainly look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Any Biscuits is also one to note in the betting.
