Verdict

Quite a few to consider but the revival of one-time smart Flat performer GYLLEN shows no sign of abating so he's selected to overcome his latest rise in the weights and complete the 4-timer. Commanding View and Stanley Pincombe also won last time and head the opposition, with Lelant one to consider at longer odds.

  1. GYLLEN (USA)
  2. COMMANDING VIEW (IRE)
  3. STANLEY PINCOMBE (IRE)
