Verdict

Competitive fare but if there's a runner with the potential to be a lot better than their current mark it's surely MAJESTIC WARRIOR. He was far from disgraced in the Ebor last time and surely has a bigger performance in him. Castle Cove is another lightly-raced stayer with the potential to raise his game, while Miller Spirit looks the pick of those at longer odds back on this sort of ground.

  1. MAJESTIC WARRIOR (IRE)
  2. CASTLE COVE (IRE)
  3. MILLER SPIRIT (IRE)
