Verdict

A cracking handicap with WESTON just about the pick of the bunch on the back of a very eye-catching run at Royal Ascot on just his second start for Gordon Elliott. Jackfinbar hasn't been with Willie Mullins long, either, and he's a big threat, along with Teed Up, a winner over hurdles at the meeting on Monday.

  1. WESTON (GER)
  2. JACKFINBAR (FR)
  3. TEED UP (IRE)
