Verdict

FRERO BANBOU looked suited by the more patient tactics when producing a career-best win at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and this C&D winner is preferred to Gunsight Ridge and Bun Doran, who had a real slog when first and second over this C&D last month.

  1. FRERO BANBOU (FR)
  2. GUNSIGHT RIDGE
