Verdict

A fascinating renewal, with preference for COLTRANE who shaped as well as any behind the all-the-way winner in the Goodwood Cup earlier this month. He has developed into a very reliable top-level stayer and he can reverse the placings with Courage Mon Ami from when the pair met in the Gold Cup. Last year's winner of the race Quickthorn can also make a bold bid, but may find it tougher to repeat the same tactics this time around.

  1. COLTRANE (IRE)
  2. COURAGE MON AMI
  3. QUICKTHORN
