Verdict

An open maiden of mostly newcomers, the most appealing of which is the Donnacha O'Brien trained HIGH KING. His trainer won this race 3 years ago with Do It With Style and can land the race again with his first 2-y-o runner of the season. Belicoso is another newcomer worth noting and looks to be the pick of the Joseph Patrick O'Brien pair. Of those with experience, Ischgl exceeded expectations when second on debut at 100/1 and is entitled to do better.
