Verdict

The one who appeals most is SCHIEHALLION MUNRO, who showed the benefit of his reappearance spin behind Cool Mix at Wetherby when runner-up there in November. He has few miles on the clock for a horse of his age and should have more to offer as a chaser. Cool Mix has resumed in top form this season and he has to be feared, while Romain de Senam and Get Out The Gate also enter calculations.

  1. SCHIEHALLION MUNRO
  2. COOL MIX
  3. ROMAIN DE SENAM (FR)
