Verdict

ALEEZDANCER was an impressive winner of this race under similar ground conditions on his 2023 reappearance and can repeat the feat having dropped back to the same mark as 12 months ago. Knebworth shaped well on his AW reappearance and is second choice ahead of 2022 winner Bernardo O'Reilly. Woven, who has a fine record here and when fresh, completes the shortlist.

  1. ALEEZDANCER (IRE)
  2. KNEBWORTH
  3. BERNARDO O'REILLY
