Verdict

ROBERT JOHNSON has thrived having rejoined the Philip Kirby yard this year, winning 5 times with his latest success at this C&D in July, and he can add to his tally after he showed improved form in defeat at Goodwood earlier in the month. Heading the list of dangers is Haliphon, who can make his presence felt from below his last winning mark, while Aztec Empire can also go well again.

  1. ROBERT JOHNSON
  2. HALIPHON
  3. AZTEC EMPIRE (IRE)
