Mansa Musa (6/5), Rush Queen (5/1), Matter Of Fact (5/1), Edwardian (5/1), Megarry (9/1), Lia Fail (12/1), Verified (150/1)

Verdict

MANSA MUSA sets the bar high on the back of his second in the Round Tower at the Curragh and can prove too strong for Aidan O'Brien's Edwardian, who may not have been suited by fast ground when last of 6f in the Acomb at York and remains a colt of potential.

  1. MANSA MUSA (IRE)
  2. EDWARDIAN (USA)
  3. RUSH QUEEN (IRE)
