Verdict

A 3-y-o handicap full of potential, with FIRST RULER, a course winner in July, just about the most persuasive option with this trip sure to suit on breeding. Frantastic, a brother to Cracksman, is promising in his own right and cheekpieces may also help him. La Yakel completes the shortlist.

  1. FIRST RULER
  2. FRANTASTIC
