Verdict

A chance is taken on Joseph O'Brien's highly unexposed CITY HALL, a beautifully bred son of Galileo who could prove a revelation now upped in trip after a break. Recent winners Shantou Warrior and Napoleon Blue look the biggest dangers in what is a pretty competitive race on the whole.
  1. City Hall
  2. Shantou Warrior
  3. Napoleon Blue
