Verdict

This looks ripe for CHANTILLY, who was a shade below par when third in a big-field maiden at the Curragh on his latest start in November but this Galileo colt may well have more to offer now faced with a stiffer test and pitched into handicap company. Masoun failed to trouble the judge in three runs last season but he has the look of a potential improver now handicapping and, given doubts surrounding Surfers Paradise on account of the forecast conditions, he could be the main danger.

  1. CHANTILLY (IRE)
  2. MASOUN (FR)
  3. SURFERS PARADISE (IRE)
