Verdict

Tom Lacey sends three over, with the pick the J P McManus-owned MONTREGARD who was having his only his fourth career start when taking a Wetherby handicap last month and could have plenty more to come. Paddy's Milestone is another low-mileage sort who surely has his best days ahead of him and is feared most having snuck in at the foot of the weights. The other Stuart Crawford runner Al Kalila wasn't far behind the selection at Wetherby and is also shortlisted along with Mousey Brown.

  1. MONTREGARD (FR)
  2. PADDY'S MILESTONE (IRE)
  3. AL KALILA (IRE)
