Verdict

SWEET WILL is in top form and the obvious port of call in this tricky contest. The betting could be interesting with a number of potential tartars present, Minella Moment, on debut for Gordon Elliott, and Miss Polly Shelby, among them.

  1. SWEET WILL (IRE)
  2. MINELLA MOMENT (IRE)
  3. MISS POLLY SHELBY (IRE)
