Verdict

A wide-open look to this race. SUBSTANTIAL isn't as battle-hardened as some of these but a few things conspired against him at Thirsk last time and he's given another chance to show he's a low-mileage sort heading in the right direction. Fellow unexposed 4-y-o Alazwar heads the dangers along with Red Mirage and Victoria Cup winner Vafortino.
