Verdict

BESHTANI showed that he's still improving when an excellent second at Epsom on return and, with that form having been boosted by the winner since, he gets the vote to go one better at the possible expense of Wild Tiger, who is progressing fast. Sonny Liston is another big player and Real Gain still has some potential intact.

  1. BESHTANI (FR)
  2. WILD TIGER
  3. SONNY LISTON (IRE)
