Verdict

The Group 1 winner Ebro River was beaten in the National Stakes at the Curragh when upped to today’s trip. Charlie Appleby trained the winner of the latter contest and runs Listed winner Noble Truth in this with the Godolphin colt preferred to the other UK runners Angel Bleu and The Wizard Of Eye. Ballydoyle sends over Group 2 runner-up Stone Age while Coolmore also own the progressive Ancient Rome, who landed a Group 3 for Andre Fabre over a longer trip here last month. But ACCAKABA remains unbeaten after winning a competitive Group 2 in soft going at Deauville and Christophe Ferland’s filly may edge this. Rocchigiani beat Annis Master in a Group 3 race at Baden Baden but the German filly will find this much tougher.
