Verdict

2025 Queen's Vase hero CARMERS made an encouraging return when fifth in a Navan listed event and can build on it here and open his account for the current campaign. Tennessee Stud wasn't at his best at King Abdulaziz on his reappearance but is fancied to bounce back here and rates the main threat. Dallas Star appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
