Verdict

C&D winner NORDIC PASSAGE only narrowly failed to get back on the scoreboard at Chepstow earlier this month and remains nicely treated on old form. He gets the nod. Teddy Boy and Redshore City head the list of dangers.

  1. NORDIC PASSAGE (IRE)
  2. TEDDY BOY (IRE)
  3. REDSHORE CITY (IRE)
