Verdict

The vote goes to ECLIPSE EMERALD, who represents the yard that saddled the winner of this maiden 12 months ago and he shaped with promise on his sole 2-y-o start when runner-up in a maiden here in the autumn (form of that race is working out well). Master of The Hunt, who was thereabouts on each of his three starts in 2023, is next on the list ahead of French import Follow Me, while Betsen and Ebanza are promising types.

  1. ECLIPSE EMERALD (IRE)
  2. MASTER OF THE HUNT (IRE)
  3. FOLLOW ME (FR)
