Verdict

AEGEAN PRINCE could barely have been more impressive despite having been off the track for almost a year when winning a Haydock handicap last time and is fancied to successfully step up in grade here at the chief expense of Al Aasy, who arrives on the back of Group successes at Deauville and Ascot. The likeable Evanesco can complete the 1-2-3.

  1. AEGEAN PRINCE
  2. AL AASY (IRE)
  3. EVANESCO
