Verdict

A fascinating top-notch sprint in which it may pay to side with ROHAAN as he bids to dispel his flop in the 2021 renewal. He is otherwise unbeaten over C&D and looked every bit as good as ever when landing the Bengough Stakes last time, so he takes marginal preference over Creative Force, who won this last year. Perfect Power, another with a superb track record, is also worthy of strong consideration.

  1. ROHAAN (IRE)
  2. CREATIVE FORCE (IRE)
  3. PERFECT POWER (IRE)
