Verdict
Ontario can continue the domination of the Ballydoyle operation's runners in this type of event and is very much the one to beat. He is yet to encounter ground this fast but as yet, but had Coventry Stakes runner up, Pakhoes in behind when getting off the mark at The Curragh last month. One Last Time, Newfoundland and Silca Boo should also not be underestimated and can give Ontario plenty to think about if he fails to cope with a faster surface.
