Verdict

FRODON will be looking to make a statement here stepped up in trip with the Gold Cup in just six weeks and he's expected to be hard to beat if he can see out this trip. Elegant Escape needs to prove he's as good around here as elsewhere while the two Henderson runners are respected, with Terrefort narrowly preferred for the places.
  1. Frodon
  2. Elegant Escape
  3. Terrefort
