Verdict

MUDBIR's defeat on his final 3-y-o start shouldn't be taken as evidence that the handicapper has got him and he's taken to resume his progression on his reappearance. Shiplake impressed with 2 all-weather wins for new trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy over the winter and is second choice. Defence Minister, Great Acclaim, Shafdar and Ascot specialist Hickory head the many dangers.

  1. MUDBIR
  2. SHIPLAKE (IRE)
  3. DEFENCE MINISTER
