Verdict

Four of the last 6 runnings have gone the way of a 3-y-o and the younger generation can come to the fore again, with ARREST taken to resume his progression now away from firmish ground. Klondike could easily have more to offer after only 3 starts and is second choice ahead of Godolphin's Kemari.

  1. ARREST (IRE)
  2. KLONDIKE
  3. KEMARI
