Verdict

A highly competitive renewal of the Irish Cesarewitch but THE EUPHRATES looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut on the back of his excellent Irish St Leger fourth so gets the vote. Gavin Cromwell's improving filly Sixandahalf could emerge as the main danger to Aidan O'Brien's 3-y-o, although lots of others need factoring in, chiefly Nurburgring, Spasiba, Chally Chute and Dawn Rising.
