Verdict

WRAPPEDUPINMAY was an impressive winner of his sole start in Irish points in the spring and looks to have been found a good opportunity making his debut under Rules for Paul Nicholls. Bar Thyme never got involved at Ascot on debut but that was a good race and he should make much more of an impact here.

  1. WRAPPEDUPINMAY (IRE)

  3. GRUMPY ROSIE
