Verdict

CATHEDRAL ended last year with a good fourth at the Breeders' Cup and, with her reappearance run behind her, she could be ready to get back to winning ways. Survie promises to be suited by the return to this longer trip and is feared most, with Sand Gazelle completing the shortlist.

  1. CATHEDRAL
  2. SURVIE (IRE)
  3. SAND GAZELLE
