Verdict

An intriguing renewal of this Group 2 contest, featuring three very promising and unbeaten colts, namely VICTORY DANCE, Lion of War and Isaac Shelby. Charlie Appleby has saddled the winner of four of the last six runnings, including with Native Trail 12 months ago, and is taken to enhance that statistic with Victory Dance. The Dubawi colt did well to make a winning debut over C&D last month and should have plenty more to offer. Lion of War was impressive at Newcastle recently and is feared most.

  1. VICTORY DANCE (IRE)
  2. LION OF WAR
  3. ISAAC SHELBY
