Verdict

CHALDEAN is the clear pick on form after his win in the Dewhurst at Newmarket on his final start at 2yrs and his willing attitude/uncomplicated style make him difficult to oppose. Knight looked potentially smart when winning the Horris Hill here on only his second start and could give the selection most to think about, with French Group 2 winner Charyn best of the others.

  1. CHALDEAN
  2. KNIGHT (IRE)
