Verdict

The Jim Boyle-trained pair DOLPHIN VISTA and Angels Roc make most appeal. The former is tumbling in the weights and signalled he's ready to strike again when a fast-finishing third over C&D 2 weeks ago, so edges the vote. Cafe Sydney shaped encouragingly back under less testing conditions at Chepstow recently and completes the shortlist.

  1. DOLPHIN VISTA (IRE)
  2. ANGELS ROC
  3. CAFE SYDNEY (IRE)
