Verdict

ENGLISH OAK is another one to be added to Wathnan Racing's burgeoning roster after a most impressive display at Haydock and he's comfortably the most progressive sort in this field, so he's preferred to Divine Libra, who is also going the right way. Awaal has an excellent record fresh and should have been primed for a big run.

  1. ENGLISH OAK
  2. DIVINE LIBRA (IRE)
  3. AWAAL (IRE)
