Verdict

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and I STILL HAVE FAITH, who arrives in good order from handicaps, looks the way to go in his bid for a third success of 2023. C&D winner Oh Herberts Reign seems sure to be in the mix along with in-form duo Soames Forsyte and Always Fearless.

  1. I STILL HAVE FAITH
  2. OH HERBERTS REIGN (IRE)
  3. SOAMES FORSYTE
