Verdict

The market will undoubtedly provide a useful guide but in a race lacking depth LAKOMET OF SAINTS has all the hallmarks of one who could take a step forward now handicapping in this sphere. A work-in-progress in 3 starts in juvenile maidens earlier this year, he had displayed fair form on the Flat previously and could just be worth chancing. Brandy Harbour has been knocking on the door and is feared, along with A Mere Bagatelle. O Mio Babbino completes the shortlist.

  1. LAKOMET OF SAINTS (FR)
  2. BRANDY HARBOUR
  3. A MERE BAGATELLE (IRE)
