Verdict

ALTO SAX again ran well on just his second start in nurseries when fourth in a stronger contest over 1m here 2 weeks ago and shades the vote to come out on top. Masonbrook Meadow and Gregorina are a couple of others to consider.

  1. ALTO SAX (IRE)
  2. MASONBROOK MEADOW (IRE)
  3. GREGORINA (IRE)
