Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won this a record 11 times and can dominate again with his 3 runners HAWK MOUNTAIN, Benvenuto Cellini and Action. All 3 are progressive and closely matched on form but Hawk Mountain is proven under testing conditions so shades the vote.

  1. HAWK MOUNTAIN (IRE)
  2. BENVENUTO CELLINI (IRE)
  3. ACTION (IRE)
