Verdict

PONT DU GARD sets the standard on a brace of runner-up efforts early last year and fitness shouldn't be an issue for his top yard. He is therefore awarded the vote, with Dublin Calling, Geni de la Cour and Youralwaysdreamin a trio of potential threats.

  1. PONT DU GARD (FR)
  2. DUBLIN CALLING (IRE)
  3. GENI DE LA COUR (FR)
