The G Wizard (6/4), Zamek (9/4), Irish Champ (11/4), Stride On (9/2), Crackling Fire (9/2), Union Avenue (12/1)

Verdict

A tricky puzzle but THE G WIZARD sets the standard following a hat-trick of seconds and may go one better back in maiden company. However, Irish Champ is a danger if improving as expected for the return to further, while it's unlikely we've seen the best of Zamek or Stride On, either.

  1. THE G WIZARD (IRE)
  2. IRISH CHAMP (IRE)
  3. ZAMEK (FR)
