Verdict

A case can be made for lots of these but the vote goes to MISTER BARCLAY who arrives on the back of a very good Wetherby third (form been franked) and promises to be suited by this longer trip too. Course second Iron d'Ex is weighted to have a big say and rated next best, although the likes of Jack Sprat, Ballynaheer and Mac's Legacy all need factoring in too.

  1. MISTER BARCLAY
  2. IRON D'EX (FR)
  3. JACK SPRAT (IRE)
