Verdict

Stamina will be at a premium and that will play to the strengths of LORD DU MESNIL, who looks the pick of the weights judged on his excellent second to the subsequent Coral Gold Cup winner Le Milos on his return to action. Commodore regularly goes through these staying handicaps with zest and he's interesting at a price, while the market may help assess the well-being of 2021 Welsh National hero Iwilldoit.

  1. LORD DU MESNIL (FR)
