Verdict

LETSBEFRANK appeals as one who should have more to offer on the back of his convincing Hamilton success and can make light of a 6 lb rise with the step up to 1¾m likely to suit him on breeding. Valley of Flowers made good progress in 2023 and an encouraging reappearance at Nottingham suggests she's set for another productive campaign so she's feared most. Churchella and Marbuzet also make the shortlist.

  1. LETSBEFRANK (IRE)
  2. VALLEY OF FLOWERS (IRE)
  3. CHURCHELLA (IRE)
