Verdict

Cases can be made for a good number of these, with ZIGGY'S MISSILE, Vantheman and Vince L'Amour the top three on the shortlist. Choosing between them isn't at all easy but, that said, Ziggy's Missile is hard to ignore given the level of progress he has shown on the all-weather this year and he gets the nod. Elsewhere the unexposed Enchanting needs considering, along with Hedge Fund who performed with plenty of credit in a strong race at Sandown last time. Pilgrim is also accorded respect.

  1. ZIGGY'S MISSILE (IRE)
  2. VANTHEMAN (IRE)
  3. VINCE L'AMOUR (IRE)
