Verdict

CONQUEREDALOFEUROPE shaped encouragingly after 9 months off when runner-up at Wetherby on his stable debut, jumping soundly in the main but making an error just as the race was starting to take shape. He looks well worth another chance at this longer trip and can open his account over fences. Heading the list of dangers is Morning Spirit, with Good Boy Bobby completing the shortlist.

  1. CONQUREDALOFEUROPE (IRE)
  2. MORNING SPIRIT (IRE)
  3. GOOD BOY BOBBY (IRE)
