Verdict

MUCH TOO DEAR is lightly raced and looked ahead of his mark when a staying-on second at Ascot last time, so he's worth chancing to get the better of last-time-out winner Fortunate Man, who probably hasn't reached his limit either. Hurricane Harvey is another one to note having slipped to an appealing mark.

  1. MUCH TOO DEAR (IRE)
  2. FORTUNATE MAN (IRE)
  3. HURRICANE HARVEY
