Verdict

The British-raider and Ed Dunlop-trained GLOBAL GIANT was narrowly denied a Group 3 win at Windsor last month on good ground running Fabricate to a neck. The three-year-old third of 12 at Goodwood is working out well, producing three winners from the race. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Ming is not easily dismissed and appears to have a bright future.
  1. Global Giant
  2. Ming
  3. Massif Central
