Verdict

CUE CARD may not go off at a backable price but he's very difficult to oppose with any degree of confidence and would have to run somewhere near a stone below his recent performances for him to come up short here. Royal Regatta may get an easy lead so he looks like the pace angle in the race while Taquin du Seuil get's his optimum conditions and Irish Cavalier is better than what he's showed on his last two starts. 1. Cue Card 2. Royal Regatta 3. Taquin Du Seuil
