Verdict

CENTARA tanked through the race when making a successful start at Taunton recently and he could find sufficient improvement to maintain his unbeaten record up in grade. Captain Cody is an obvious player after his excellent sixth in the Champion Bumper, while his stablemate Blizzard of Oz is one of several others with feasible claims in an open-looking renewal.

  1. CENTARA (IRE)
  2. CAPTAIN CODY (IRE)
  3. BLIZZARD OF OZ (IRE)
