Pierre Bonnard (1/1), A Boy Named Susie (11/2), Italy (13/2), Endorsement (17/2), James J Braddock (9/1), Christmas Day (11/1), Shosholoza (22/1), Victory Tip (25/1), South Island (50/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has a fine record in this Group 3 and is fancied to garner another success with his upwardly-mobile PIERRE BONNARD who completed a hat-trick last autumn in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud and looks a fine prospect for 2026. The very useful A Boy Named Susie chased him home at Saint-Cloud and again looks set for runner-up spot ahead of James J Braddock and Christmas Day.

  1. PIERRE BONNARD (IRE)
  2. A BOY NAMED SUSIE (IRE)
  3. CHRISTMAS DAY (IRE)
