Verdict

Those with hurdles experience do not set the bar too high so Flat winners NATURALLY NIMBLE and Magic Thunder may come to the fore. There's more substance to the form of the Joseph O'Brien inmate so he gets the vote. Kaptain Bay should be on the premises again.

  1. NATURALLY NIMBLE (GER)
  2. MAGIC THUNDER (FR)
  3. KAPTAIN BAY (IRE)
