Verdict

Three-year-olds have traditionally dominated this and ADELAIDE RIVER, second in the Irish Derby and Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp the last twice, can get an overdue change of luck and come out on top for Aidan O'Brien. The quirky Al Aasy has been in good order over ten furlongs and has every chance if continuing in the same form back up in trip. White Birch, placed in the Dante and the Derby, is also a player.

  1. ADELAIDE RIVER (IRE)
  2. AL AASY (IRE)
  3. WHITE BIRCH
