Verdict

PALACE PIER is Timeform's current highest-rated Flat horse in training so is hard to oppose having made an impressive winning return in the bet365 Mile at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Lope Y Fernandez went close at this level a few times last season and looks set for another good campaign judged on his comeback win at Leopardstown, while My Oberon looks most progressive and is worth a shot at this level.
