Verdict

NOGO'S DREAM shaped well prior to seeming stretched by the longer trip at Newmarket last time and, back over a more suitable distance, he could take the beating. Fox Master is a big danger and Prospering should play a part if he can convert his AW form back to turf.

  1. NOGO'S DREAM
  2. FOX MASTER
  3. PROSPERING (IRE)
