Forecasts

Order Of St George (2/5), Dartmouth (5/1), Wicklow Brave (11/1), Torcedor (14/1), Mount Moriah (14/1), Western Hymn (14/1), Twilight Payment (20/1), Lord Yeats (28/1), The Tartan Spartan (66/1), Benkei (66/1)

Verdict

ORDER OF ST GEORGE can register his second victory in this Group 1 contest and in doing so make amends for his shock defeat in the 2016 renewal of this race. The 2015 victor holds a number of his rivals on recent running and is taken to get the better of Dartmouth who developed into a classy 1m4f performer last year and proved his stamina over this trip when winning a Group 2 contest in the spring. Of the remainder Western Hymn is trying this trip for the first time but shapes as if it will suit and he can claim third today.
  1. Order Of St George
  2. Dartmouth
  3. Western Hymn
