Verdict

CRYSTAL OCEAN had few peers in this division last year, but has the luxury of receiving weight from one of his rivals here, and he should prove different class as he did when winning the corresponding event 12 months ago. With the admirable Raymond Tusk still shouldered with a penalty for his Italian win, Laraaib looks the one most likely to chase the favourite home.
