Default bread

having handicapped them and watched the videos all 3 foreign shippers are interesting. The weakest one is probably Gloria de Campeao. I will toss him because he "probably ain't", but his form isn't exactly clear. Not a lot of recent grass form. If you look back he was the pacesetter in a tough French race where his running line is probably worse than his effort. He is improving and appeared to run his DWC back in Singapore where there was no Well Armed, and it translated to a pace advantage. Still a respectable effort.
The other two are pretty even. In the Brigadier Gerard Conduit was returning from a layoff and spotting 7lbs, Cima made a last move to win a near dead-heat after Conduit put away the favorite. In the Eclipse Cima/lemaire attempted to follow the big boy(Sea) through the hole but was forced to check while Conduit raced clear on the outside, although there was nothing to suggest that Cima could have beaten Conduit on even terms.
