Verdict

This is highly competitive for a 7-runner race and AGGAGIO is a tentative choice in the hope that he's not pressed too hard for the lead. Pons Aelius is a likeable type who deserves respect and Mountain Road should feature if they go an end-to-end gallop.

  1. AGGAGIO (FR)
  2. PONS AELIUS (IRE)
  3. MOUNTAIN ROAD (FR)
