Verdict

An open-looking renewal in which SAINT PALAIS is put forward as the answer. Richard Bandey's charge made it 2-2 in chases on these shore at Wetherby earlier this month and, with improvement on the cards, he can bring up the hat-trick. Gericault Roque confirmed the promise of his chasing debut when runner-up last time so he's expected to be in the mix, along with Wayfinder and Crypto.

  1. SAINT PALAIS (FR)
  2. GERICAULT ROQUE (FR)
  3. WAYFINDER (IRE)
