Verdict

WILD DOLLAR did really well to finish third from a poor position on his return to the Flat over C&D a month ago and, from a lenient mark, he makes most appeal. Purple Gown is an obvious threat having improved to score at this course last time and Timourid also warrants consideration.

  1. WILD DOLLAR (IRE)
  2. PURPLE GOWN (IRE)
  3. TIMOURID (IRE)
