Race Overview
GURZUF (6) has been shaping well of late and was a decent third when last seen in January over 4000m. He gets the vote ahead of WINNER (11) who did well when third at Auteuil in what was arguably a better race than this last time. CLAY (3) is one for the each-way backers to take seriously having run well at Auteuil recently when fourth. TRANSATLANTIC (2) heads the remainder.

6 - 11 - 3
