Verdict

GHOSTLY encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage when finishing a place adrift of Tribal Commander over 1¾m here last month and, granted better luck this time, the 5-y-o may well emerge on top. The selection shaped that day as though he would be suited by stepping back up to this trip. With Simon Walker in the hot-seat, Balgowan is third choice and King Charles also merits consideration.

  1. GHOSTLY
  2. TRIBAL COMMANDER
  3. BALGOWAN (IRE)
