Verdict

COLTOR has a progressive profile on the Flat and has impressed with his hurdling exploits since last seen in this sphere, so he's worth a chance to defy an opening mark of 84. Ilmig also has potential despite a sub-par reappeaerance so she's worth considering along with Hammersmith.

  1. COLTOR (IRE)
  2. ILMIG (IRE)
  3. HAMMERSMITH (IRE)
