Verdict

Aidan O'Brien took this with Derby hero Lambourn 12 months ago and his highly promising BENVENUTO CELLINI is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having been edged out in the mud in the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster last autumn. Unexposed stablemate Proposition looks open to considerable improvement at this trip and could emerge as the main danger, ahead of Del Maro.

  1. BENVENUTO CELLINI (IRE)
  2. PROPOSITION (IRE)
  3. DEL MARO (GER)
