Verdict

A competitive finale to solve with marginal preference for FLUTISTE. Claire Harris' charge had a plausible excuse for his below-par effort chasing back in February (had breathing problem) but returning on the back of a wind operation, he gets the tentative nod to belatedly open his account. Half The Freedom is sure to be suited by this step back up in trip so he's feared most, with Keplerian and Champs Hill another couple to consider.

  1. FLUTISTE (FR)
  2. HALF THE FREEDOM
  3. KEPLERIAN
