Verdict

A fascinating renewal of the Chester Vase. WIRKO recorded a fast time when scoring at Epsom and, with this step up in trip sure to suit, is taken to fend off Law of The Sea, who is another with better days ahead of him and much respected too for the Gosden team.

  1. WIRKO (GER)
  2. LAW OF THE SEA
  3. FANCY MAN (IRE)
