Verdict

A very smart performer in his prime, AL AASY wasn't on a going day on his return from a lengthy absence at Newmarket 3 weeks ago but fancied to leave that effort well behind, William Haggas' 6-y-o can notch a sixth career success at the expense of Highland Avenue, who has returned in good order this season and should be bang there back in this small-field scenario. Phantom Flight can fill out third spot.

  1. AL AASY (IRE)
  2. HIGHLAND AVENUE (IRE)
