Verdict

None of the sextet can be discounted with the narrow vote in favour of Andrew Balding's COMIC HERO. He beat a subsequent winner on return to action at Kempton in February and there's surely even better to come from the son of Saxon Warrior. Vincenzo Peruggia is the type to progress again as a 3-y-o and he's feared for the stable who took this prize 12 months ago. Strength of Spirit completes the shortlist.

  1. COMIC HERO (IRE)
  2. VINCENZO PERUGGIA (IRE)
  3. STRENGTH OF SPIRIT (IRE)
