Verdict

CAT TIGER arrives on the back of a very good run at Doncaster and gets a narrow vote ahead of the Venetia Williams-trained Didero Vallis, who was back to form at Ludlow last time. Winds of Fire has a much less exposed profile over fences than most of these and is also on the shortlist.

  1. CAT TIGER (FR)
  2. DIDERO VALLIS (FR)
  3. WINDS OF FIRE (USA)
