Verdict

A below-par looking renewal of this contest in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it looks an optimum opportunity for MAKE A CHALLENGE to strike at this level for the first time. One of the finds of the season last term, the five-year-old looked like there was even more to come when oozing class at Naas last time out, which sees him have the significant measure of his rivals. Plenty could be within a shout of claiming minor honours, but Speak In Colours tends to consistently run up to his level compared to some and has been close to landing Group 1's as recently as last week. The likes of Buffer Zone and Queen Jo Jo also have progressive profiles but face their toughest task to date yet.
