Verdict

KYPRIOS was off his game returning from injury in the Irish St Leger, but he posted one of the most remarkable staying performances of modern times when landing the Cadran on his final outing in 2022, and will take a fair bit of beating if returning to anywhere near that level. Trueshan turned in his best effort of the season when winning the latest renewal of the aforementioned event and is second choice in his bid to win this race for a fourth consecutive year.

  1. KYPRIOS (IRE)
