Verdict

The most obvious chances on recent form belong to Shawaamekh, Turanga Leela, Penwortham, Dragon's Tail and That's The Spirit but neither have been helped by their draws. The last five winners of this were drawn 1-4 and two of them represented the Fahey/Dr Marwan Koukash partnership. Their main hope here,GABRIAL THE TIGER, will be coming out of stall three and is better drawn than when third here two weeks ago over an inadequate trip. The 2017 winner has most to fear from Luzum and Queen's Sargent, particularly should conditions remain on the soft side
  1. Gabrial The Tiger
  2. Luzum
