Verdict

It was a thin maiden ALEXEI won here last month, but he couldn't have done it any easier and, with the drop in trip holding no fears, he's fancied to defy a penalty en route to better things. Tuxedo Junction and Pigeon House are fancied to give the selection most to think about.

  1. ALEXEI (GER)
  2. TUXEDO JUNCTION
  3. PIGEON HOUSE (IRE)
