Verdict
Top of The Glas and Shirocco Passion make most appeal of those with experience. But both will need to improve further as they step up in trip and one of the newcomers may well be good enough to land what looks an ordinary maiden. Napoleon's Comet is worth noting and Year Of Glory is related to a couple of winners in Italy. HYMENAIOS cost 220,000 euros as a yearling and the brother to Group 3 winner Probably is taken to make a winning debut for the Hannon yard with any strong support in the betting further boosting confidence.
