KODIAC THRILLER has found some improvement since dropped to the minimum trip, opening his account at Thirsk in May and making the frame on each of his 3 subsequent runs in stronger company. He looks a big player again and earns the vote ahead of Duran, who has the plum draw and sights lowered. Rosenpur is another player.

  1. KODIAC THRILLER (IRE)
  2. DURAN (IRE)
  3. ROSENPUR (GER)
