Verdict

SCANDINAVIA shot to near the head of the market for the St Leger after his dominant display in the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket and, with a handy-weight-for-age allowance, he looks the value call over stablemate Illinois, who should find this test more suitable having been outstayed by Trawlerman in the Ascot Gold Cup. The exciting French Master has the profile of one who will develop into a leading Cup horse so needs considering, too.

  1. SCANDINAVIA (USA)
  2. ILLINOIS (IRE)
  3. FRENCH MASTER (IRE)
