Verdict

PHOENIX RISEN bolted up over C&D a fortnight ago and a 10 lb rise may not be enough to prevent Jeremy Scott's charge from doubling his tally. He gets the nod over Coolnaugh Haze, who did all he could against a lesser-exposed rival at Huntingdon earlier this month and should be in the mix once again. Great Ocean rounds off the shortlist.

  1. PHOENIX RISEN
  2. COOLNAUGH HAZE (IRE)
  3. GREAT OCEAN (FR)
