Verdict

HICKORY boasted a progressive profile prior to a minor blip at Kempton last time, so he's fancied to resume winning ways returning to turf. Mister Bluebird is an obvious danger following his win at Goodwood and Persuasion could make his presence felt if the race is run to suit.

  1. HICKORY (IRE)
  2. MISTER BLUEBIRD
  3. PERSUASION (IRE)
