The biggest priced winner in 14 years has been 4/1 and CAPRI will be at short odds. The 2017 Irish Derby and St Leger winner never hit those heights again but has been performing at the highest level and made a successful reappearance last season. With race conditions in his favour he shouldn't have too many problems with these. Stable companion Southern France looks a tremendous staying prospect after twice being placed behind Kew Gardens at this trip but Mustajeer hasn't quite proved he stays the distance though he easily won a 1m4f Listed contest at Naas. Twilight Payment invariably runs his race, loves the trip and ground so it will be a surprise if he's not there at the finish again.
