Verdict

WINGED LEADER is a straightforward, bold jumper, who tends to go forward, all attributes that lend themselves to this sort of test, and he's looked as good as ever in points recently, so he's a solid option. Last year's winner Latenightpass is set for another bold showing and Magic Saint has enough class to make his presence felt.

  1. WINGED LEADER (IRE)
  2. LATENIGHTPASS
  3. MAGIC SAINT (FR)
