Verdict

RATHLIN ROSE can land the hat-trick here for Guy Disney. He always seems to save his best efforts for this race and looks to have been laid out with it in mind by David Pipe; he will surely be a hugely popular winner if successful. Carlos Du Fruitier looks a big danger as the youngest runner in the field and he has been knocking on the door of late. Late Romantic is another in good form and worthy of consideration.
