Verdict

There was little between VADENI and Mishriff when first and second in the Eclipse at Sandown but 3-y-o Vadeni is open to further improvement while Mishriff has endured a couple of hard races in defeat since. Luxembourg remains potentially high-class so is another to consider.

  1. VADENI (FR)
