Verdict

Plenty of lightly-raced budding stayers tackling this sort of test for the first time line up and it's HIGHBURY who looks the most persuasive option having bolted up in a Leopardstown maiden (strong form) last month. He can provide Aidan O'Brien with an eighth success in this race at the expense of stablemate Illinois, who found only subsequent Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly too strong last time, while Birdman, who beat the selection on debut, rounds off the shortlist.

  1. HIGHBURY (FR)
  2. ILLINOIS (IRE)
  3. BIRDMAN (IRE)
