        Verdict

        El Potro has everything in his favour and is taken to land the finale and he gets the nod over Joyeaux and Cleveland. That said, each-way moves for the likes of Alexia Rose and Paddywack would not be without foundations are worth monitoring. Cleveland has been consistent on the All Weather and is well treated in comparison to the AW ratings. He does need to prove himself on the surface but may represent good value for a place. Joyeaux has a similar profile but has form with cut in the ground. He is holding his form well and has to be on the shortlist. However, El Potro stands out as the one with all the ticks in right boxes and he is taken to gain a just reward today.
