Verdict

TROJAN HORSE created a good impression when making his second start in this sphere a winning one at Fontwell last month and has plenty of scope to do better again judged on Flat ability, so he's fancied to defy a penalty. Blueking d'oroux folded tamely on his British debut at Cheltenham but his French form suggests he's capable of much better, while State Legend is the pick of the hurdling newcomers before market clues.

  1. TROJAN HORSE (IRE)
  2. BLUEKING D'OROUX (FR)
  3. STATE LEGEND (IRE)
