Verdict

While Order Of St George is likely to be a big hit with punters after his success in the race last year, he's likely to go off a short enough price for a horse who has been a little disappointing since that victory. BIG ORANGE may be able to give Aidan O'Brien's runner a run for his money provided his jockey gets the fractions right on the front end. He looked like he was returning to his best at Sandown when last seen and he may come on for that run. Two mares in the race, Endless Time and Sweet Selection would both appear to have solid place chances and it's the former who is narrowly preferred after a fine runner-up effort behind smart French stayer, Vazirabad, towards the end of last season.
