Racing Post verdict
Third-partyLazy Griff showed his stamina for this course and distance emphatically when third in a Group 3 here on his seasonal return, and with that run behind him he should take a confident step forward. Furthur is respected given his form at this level when conditions suit — he found the extra distance beyond him last time — while Paradias is course-proven and consistent enough to pose a threat, having also confirmed his stamina here on his last outing. Lazy Griff is the pick.
