Verdict

FRERE D'ARMES stepped up plenty on his reappearance run and likely would have proved even more of a threat without a mistake 3 out when finishing runner-up at Ascot 37 days ago. Unexposed at this sort of trip, he can confirm himself on a handy mark. Fidelio Vallis and Half Shot head up the dangers, whilst it would come as no surprise to see a better showing from Cooper's Cross.

  1. FRERE D'ARMES (FR)
  2. FIDELIO VALLIS (FR)
  3. HALF SHOT (IRE)
