Verdict

SISKANY continues to go from strength to strength and is strongly fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride following his most taking Newmarket handicap victory. Max Vega is without a win since 2019 but comes here in good order and appeals as the one to chase home Charlie Appleby's improver. Extra Elusive looks the pick of the remainder.

  1. SISKANY
  2. MAX VEGA (IRE)
  3. EXTRA ELUSIVE
