Verdict

BILLAWAY failed to land the odds in this race a year ago but has since established himself as the best hunter around and with fitness no concern given the yard he represents, he can get it right this time. Ferns Lock is very much a youngster by this sphere's standards but he's promising and is open to lots of progress.

  1. BILLAWAY (IRE)
  2. FERNS LOCK
  3. COASTAL TIEP (FR)
