Verdict

The betting should be revealing but SANCTIJUDE is a likely type on paper and gets the vote before any more clues. Battle of Maldon won a barrier trial so that has to make him of interest, while The Holy Apostle will find this easier having chased home a very promising Coolmore pair among others at the Curragh on his recent debut.

  1. SANCTIJUDE (IRE)
  2. BATTLE OF MALDON (IRE)
  3. THE HOLY APOSTLE (IRE)
