Verdict

Another race with plenty of pace on - Go Conquer, Black Corton and Ami Desbois all like to lead and there will be no hiding place here. Vinndication and MISTER MALARKY come into this as second season novices and both should have plenty of improvement to come. Preference is for Mister Malarky, who looks a stout stayer and should find this test to his liking. Vinndication looks a big danger on the best of his form of last year but is not proven at the trip, and that swings the vote Mister Malarky's way. Relentless Dreamer may be best of the rest.
  1. Mister Malarky
  2. Vinndication
  3. Relentless Dreamer
