Verdict

It's unlikely we've seen the best of PHANTOM GOLD, who finished a close second over 2m here last time, and he can go one better up in trip. Locked Down Lad and Royal Rhythm could be interesting if recapturing last summer's course form.

  1. PHANTOM GOLD (IRE)
  2. LOCKED DOWN LAD
  3. ROYAL RHYTHM (IRE)
