        Verdict

        As usual in a field made up predominantly of newcomers, the betting may give some vital clues. As it is, the speculative vote goes to CHAMPIONSHIP given Richard Hannon has a good record in this race and jockey bookings suggest he's preferred to Alaskan. Martin Harley's presence on Ambiance point to his chances ahead of stablemate Jallota and he's also preferred to the Brian Meehan pair Cabaan and Man Amongst Men. Iftaar and the 140,000 euros colt, Gm Hopkins, are both first foals and worth noting along with Berkshire, although the latter may need further to show his best.
