Verdict

A fascinating Long Distance Cup to kick off Champions Day and it could pay to side with Aidan O'Brien's rapidly improving WATERVILLE who gained a remarkable success in the Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh and can now announce himself as a big player in the staying division. St Leger hero Eldar Eldarov should relish this step up to 2m and rates a big threat while Trueshan can't be taken lightly either in his bid for a hat-trick in this event despite being well below par in the Doncaster Cup.

  1. WATERVILLE (IRE)
  2. ELDAR ELDAROV
  3. TRUESHAN (FR)
