Verdict

Strong cases can be made for the majority of these. Preference is for AMERICAN SNIPER, who is officially 2 lb 'well-in' on the back of a solid effort in a novice event at Newbury last week where he pulled miles clear of the rest with the useful winner, Twig. Judicial Law will be a threat if fully tuned-up following a break but the consistent Hititi, who proved that this trip is within his range when going close at Wincanton, is feared most. Gladiateur Allen is also accorded respect.

  1. AMERICAN SNIPER (IRE)
  2. HITITI (FR)
  3. JUDICIAL LAW (IRE)
