Verdict

Any number to consider in a red-hot renewal of the final of this series but BUBBLE DUBI likely remains ahead of the handicapper after his Stratford success and has good claims in a race that should be run to suit his striking strong-travelling style. Too Friendly is very interesting back over 2m in first-time blinkers, while last year's second Castel Gandolfo is one to note at likely bigger odds.

  1. BUBBLE DUBI (FR)
  2. TOO FRIENDLY
  3. CASTEL GANDOLFO (IRE)
