Verdict

OKAMI showed a great attitude when going in at Lingfield last time and is fancied to complete a hat-trick at the chief expense of Imperial Dream who also arrives in excellent nick and can't be taken lightly in his bid for a third success of 2023. G'Daay and Cloud Cover appeal as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

  1. OKAMI (IRE)
  2. IMPERIAL DREAM (IRE)
  3. G'DAAY
