Verdict

JANGO BAIE found plenty under pressure to score in Grade 1 company last time and sets a clear standard in a race the yard used as a stepping stone for Shishkin 4 years ago. There's little to split the remaining trio in form terms, with all looking open to plenty of improvement, Handstands getting the fractional vote for second.
