Verdict

A competitive Group 3 in which last year's winner MUTASARREF is fancied to repeat the trick. Ger Lyons' gelding is most consistent at this level and finished ahead of several of his oppposition in the Minstrel Stakes last time, so is fancied to get the better of the upwardly-mobile Alakazi and Chicago Critic, who should step forward from his recent Curragh run.

  1. MUTASARREF
  2. ALAKAZI (FR)
  3. CHICAGO CRITIC
