Verdict

A case of quantity over quality in this opening contest, with SANTONITO fancied to emerge victorious for the red-hot Gordon Elliott stable. He remains capable of better and can get the better of Eye Van, who was last seen finishing runner-up in a Grade 3 event at this track in February. Sir Argus and Royal Moon complete the shortlist.

  1. SANTONITO (FR)
  2. EYE VAN (IRE)
  3. SIR ARGUS
