Verdict

SUDDEN AMBUSH didn't have anything to spare when scoring at Windsor last time but he's an upwardly-mobile 3yo up against mostly more exposed types, so he's fancied to go in again. Bopedro and Repertoire are both likely to feature, particularly if the leaders go too quick.

  1. SUDDEN AMBUSH
  2. BOPEDRO (FR)
  3. REPERTOIRE
