Verdict

FERNANDO VICHI reacted really well to blinker and excelled himself when third in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial here a month ago and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Flying Visit is second choice on form but was beaten a long way in the Gallinule Stakes 11 days ago so The Mediterranean could be the main threat upped in class.

  1. FERNANDO VICHI (IRE)
  2. THE MEDITERRANEAN (IRE)
  3. FLYING VISIT (IRE)
