Going - Good to Firm. 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Listed winner Wise Approach found further improvement to finish third in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville. Representing last year's winning yard, he will likely prove hard to stop, but a chance is taken on THE PUBLICAN'S SON. Thrown in at the deep end when contesting a Group 3 at the Curragh on his debut, Joseph O'Brien's charge caught the eye, weaving through runners to finish a strong second, so he may well prove competitive at this level. Coppull and Hilitany are others to consider.
