Verdict

TRUESHAN should be all the better for his Nottingham reappearance second to Rajinsky and with ground conditions to suit he can bag a fourth C&D victory before beginning his assault on the Cup races once more. Andrew Balding's Coltrane enjoyed an excellent 2022 but, not for the first time, is fancied to chase home Alan King's top-class stayer, with Rajinsky 3 lb worse off with the selection now and taken to claim minor honours.

  1. TRUESHAN (FR)
  2. COLTRANE (IRE)
  3. RAJINSKY (IRE)
