Verdict

ENGLISH OAK looked a class act when striding clear impressively in the Buckingham Palace at Ascot and, given his latest effort is excusable, he's fancied to get back to winning ways at the possible expense of fellow 3yo Kikkuli, who boasts a similar profile. Last year's winner Witch Hunter is another definite player.

  1. ENGLISH OAK
  2. KIKKULI
