Verdict

PENCREEK rallied well when scoring at Worcester last time and shouldn't need to improve to follow up here. Fabrique en France and Smith's Bay have the best remaining chase form on offer, though neither can boast a particularly solid overall profile.

  1. PENCREEK (FR)
  2. FABRIQUE EN FRANCE (FR)
  3. SMITH'S BAY
