Verdict

This doesn't look a vintage renewal so CELERON is taken to follow up his wide-margin win in the Railway Stakes over C&D. Sun Goddess is the other Group 2 winner in the line-up and she rates the obvious threat for a trainer who has won this a record 17 times.

  1. CELERON
  2. SUN GODDESS (IRE)
  3. FOLSOM BLUES (IRE)
