Verdict

This is wide open but Ralph Beckett's upwardly-mobile QIRAT could prove the answer given he handles soft conditions well and the form of his recent Goodwood victory has been well advertised. Fellow 3-y-o Germanic also looks to have better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Akkadian Thunder, Volterra, Carrytheone and Mirsky in this fiercely competitive handicap.

  1. QIRAT
  2. GERMANIC (IRE)
  3. AKKADIAN THUNDER
