In depth

Verdict

Most of these ran in a Group 3 sprint at Longchamp earlier in the month when BATWAN came out on top. Another bold bid is expected today given that was his first outing since finishing runner-up in the same Longchamp race last year to Sestilio Jet. The latter and Gold Vibe filled the places behind the selection last time and neither can be easily ruled out while fourth-placed Red Torch finished with a late flourish but may find himself off the pace early in the race once again. Ken Colt, Tour To Paris and We Go all finished further behind while Euryale won at Chantilly in March but this is much tougher and Finsbury Square hasn’t raced since October.
