Verdict

A good pace assured, with the admirably consistent Major Jumbo and Muntadab in the field. Son Of Rest has been all the rage for this after his Group 1 effort last weekend but a quick turnaround and a slight question mark over the trip mean he's now little in the way of value. At a bigger price ICE AGE has a bit going for him, as he is drawn to track the pace, has won big-field handicaps before, handles the ground and appears to be keeping his form well. He can go close. Growl looks a good bet to hit the places again and along with the consistent Get Knotted and Terentium Star, can go well.
  1. Ice Age
  2. Growl
  3. Get Knotted
