Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but WARHOL comes here on the back of an excellent Newbury second (form been franked) so edges the vote from in-form pair Wonder Starelzaam and Daphne May who can chase home George Baker's progressive 4-y-o in that order.

  1. WARHOL (IRE)
  2. WONDER STARELZAAM (IRE)
  3. DAPHNE MAY
