In depth
Verdict
A field large in numbers but low in quality and on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning with the principals looking to be Outer Hebrides, Coco Reef and Lady Dunkirk and the confident vote goes to Outer Hebrides. The colt from the bang in form David Loder yard was a good second behind Halacardia last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat.Gavroche rates the main danger on his debut fourth but he was a very disappointing favourite last time and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Coco Reef showed improved form to be third in a seller last time but will need to improve again to win in this grade. Of the remainder Poker catches the eye on breeding but its stable debutantes usually come on for the run, so the confident selection goes to Outer Hebrides
