Verdict

A good renewal of this Group 3. ROYAL RHYME appeals as one who can kick on again at 4 and is narrowly preferred to last year's winner Ottoman Fleet. Like the selection, Embesto could step up again as a 4-y-o and also makes the shortlist.

  1. ROYAL RHYME (IRE)
  2. OTTOMAN FLEET
  3. EMBESTO
