Verdict

An open-looking finale but LOVE YOUR WORK bounced back to his best when finishing runner-up at Newcastle recently and operating from a lower turf mark, Rebecca Menzies' 7-y-o can snap a lengthy losing run with Franny Norton in the plate an added bonus. King's Code hasn't put a foot wrong for his new yard, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Roman Dynasty and Lockdown Lass another couple fancied to go well.

  1. LOVE YOUR WORK (IRE)
  2. KING'S CODE
  3. ROMAN DYNASTY (IRE)
