Verdict

MAGHFOOR carries a risk over this trip given his pedigree. However, there was significant support for him in the early market for a stronger race at Kempton last week and that makes his presence here intriguing. His maiden form indicates he is much better than his last run indicates and he is given a chance to redeem himself. Bula's Belle and Royal Flag are on good marks for their return to this trip and Taper Tantrum represents a yard who do well around here. Vercingetorix has been rejuvenated by his handler. He drops in class following a shallow effort last time and ought to be more competitive this time.
  1. Maghfoor
  2. Bulas Belle
  3. Vercingetorix
