Verdict

Provided he can leave a rare below-par effort behind, HERITIER is fancied to regain the winning thread with the usual headgear discarded and continue his fledgling yard's fine season. Twotwothree ran one of his better races after a breathing operation when runner-up at Doncaster earlier this month so he may emerge as the main danger, with Blueberry Wine rounding off the shortlist.

  1. HERITIER (FR)
  2. TWOTWOTHREE (IRE)
  3. BLUEBERRY WINE (IRE)
