Verdict
An open contest but the brother of UNITED FORCE won over today’s trip and the latter should go close again having placed over 7f in both outings so far including here last time. Sir John Monash and Pillarsofcreation are other likely improvers not out of this while several of the newcomers should be noted. Canberra Legend is an early Derby entry representing last year’s winning yard and My Duty is related to Group winners in Ireland while Carbis Bay is a half-brother to Listed winners and is partnered by Oisin Murphy.
