Verdict

Conceding plenty of weight to the 3-y-os won't be easy, but BARYSHNIKOV has been shaping up well all season and in the hope he gets a good pace to aim at, he can gain a deserved success. Coverdale and Perfect Play take on their elders for the first time and are just a couple of potential threats.

  1. BARYSHNIKOV
  2. COVERDALE (IRE)
  3. PERFECT PLAY
