Verdict

A typically competitive renewal of this valuable handicap. RIVER NYMPH enjoyed his finest hour to date when landing the C&D Victoria Cup during the spring and makes plenty of appeal on the back of an encouraging recent effort in a Newbury listed race, which was his first run for four months. Al Rufaa and Fresh both look very dangerous, while 3-y-os Aldaary and Aratus are also shortlisted.

  1. RIVER NYMPH
  2. AL RUFAA (FR)
  3. FRESH
