Verdict

On the back of an excellent third in the Champion Bumper, JAMES'S GATE makes obvious appeal back at the scene of his emphatic debut win. Music Drive and Sir Jimmy Mac look the best of the remainder but, in truth, the selection will have to fluff his lines if he's to be overturned.

  1. JAMES'S GATE (IRE)
  2. MUSIC DRIVE (FR)
  3. SIR JIMMY MAC (IRE)
