Verdict

It could be worth chancing TRAVEL CANDY, who lurks on a very tempting mark after a quiet year and shaped with more promise at Redcar last time. Alafdhal, successful here in April and runner-up on his last 3 starts, including back over C&D, is an obvious contender. Willolarupi and Music Society complete the shortlist.

  1. TRAVEL CANDY (IRE)
  2. ALAFDHAL (IRE)
  3. WILLOLARUPI (IRE)
