Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has taken the past 3 renewals of the Red Rocks and can continue his run with FLUSHING MEADOWS, who looked highly promising until suffering an odds-on reversal in the Tyros Stakes here in July. Ryan Moore retains faith in this Wootton Bassett colt though and he can return in style. The Publican's Son found the Middle Park too tough an ask on just his second start last season and is another who can get right back on track. Trojan Warrior, Dorset and Power Blue are also in the mix.

  1. FLUSHING MEADOWS (USA)
  2. THE PUBLICAN'S SON (USA)
  3. TROJAN WARRIOR (USA)
