Verdict

MISTER MEGGIT has looked highly talented on both runs to date and could have a lot more to come, so he's a straightforward choice to maintain his unbeaten record up in grade. Ma Shantou is a danger following an impressive start for his new stable and Castle Ivers is one of several others that shouldn't be ruled out.

  1. MISTER MEGGIT (IRE)
  2. MA SHANTOU (IRE)
  3. CASTLE IVERS (IRE)
