Verdict

HENRI MATISSE looks every inch a Group 1 winner in waiting following a faultless start to his career and with his Futurity Stakes win over C&D comfortably the best form on offer, he's very hard to get away from. Aomori City is second choice, though Hill Road brings considerable potential to the table.

  1. HENRI MATISSE (IRE)
  2. AOMORI CITY (FR)
  3. HILL ROAD (USA)
