Verdict

TRUE VALOUR ran a stormer in Group 2 company over C&D in the autumn and could have more to give this season. He won fresh last season and will surely go close now with a replication of his last effort here. Tribal Beat would be the one to beat on his 2016 Desmond Stakes form but he's only run twice since and has a cloud over him. Brendan Brackan is the reliable option and will run his race but, at nine, may be vulnerable while Zihba is the intriguing one being unbeaten in two AW starts to date.
  1. True Valour
  2. Brendan Brackan
  3. Zihba
