Verdict

RICH BELIEF might be able to cap a good spell since the spring by bagging this quite valuable prize. Gaelic Arc was impressive when winning maiden/novice events in May and should have more to offer now handicapping so he's feared most. Too Bright and Gordon Elliott's The Tide Turns also make the shortlist.

  1. RICH BELIEF
  2. GAELIC ARC (IRE)
  3. TOO BRIGHT (IRE)
