Verdict

The progressive KING OF THE ROAD can defy the handicapper again and complete a spring hat-trick. Mistral Milly is another 5-y-o going the right way and is second choice ahead of Fautinette, who took a step back in the right direction when third at Wincanton last time.

  1. KING OF THE ROAD (IRE)
  2. MISTRAL MILLY (IRE)
  3. FAUTINETTE (FR)
