Verdict

GREGORY has made a big impression on both starts to date and he's the sort to relish the extra distance, so he's an obvious choice to maintain his unbeaten record. Circle of Fire did well to get third from an unpromising position in the Derby Trial at Lingfield, so he's feared, while Peking Opera strikes as the best of the Irish challengers.

  1. GREGORY
  2. CIRCLE OF FIRE
  3. PEKING OPERA (IRE)
