Verdict

GILDED WATER is improving in leaps and bounds, looking better the further he went when powering clear for an authoritative success at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Representing Royal connections, who landed this prize 12 months ago, he looks sure to be suited by this longer trip and earns the vote on handicap bow. Going The Distance is another of firm interest, with Aidan O'Brien trained-pair Gallantly and Chantilly also respected. French Duke and Poniros complete the shortlist.

  1. GILDED WATER
  2. GOING THE DISTANCE (IRE)
  3. GALLANTLY
