Verdict

The Johnston yard saddled the winner of this in 2021 and may well repeat the dose with OUTBREAK, who wasn't far behind Unforgotten when fourth at Wolverhampton last month, despite a poor start. The 4-y-o subsequently performed with credit at Lingfield and will have every chance back on turf, provided he goes on the ground. Recent Doncaster winner Bucephalus and Ashky are among the big dangers.

  1. OUTBREAK
  2. BUCEPHALUS (GER)
  3. ASHKY (IRE)
