Verdict

A fair bit of potential on show and the market should reveal plenty but Charlie Appleby's EMPEROR'S STAR is worth siding with to bounce back from an odds-on reverse in the mud at Sandown and belatedly confirm the promise of his debut Newmarket second. Run Boy Run is feared most on the back of his own encouraging initial Newmarket second, although newcomers Annafel and Desert Rhapsody could have a say too.

  1. EMPEROR'S STAR (FR)
  2. RUN BOY RUN
  3. ANNAFEL (USA)
