Verdict
Silvestre De Sousa would almost certainly have had the option of riding elsewhere today but has eight booked rides here, starting with Carvelas in the opener. John Jenkins’ charge has a chance while Grans And Ounces won this last year, beating Filament Of Gold. It requires a leap of faith to support THAHAB IFRAJ but Alex Dunn’s runner is on a decent mark based on previous form so gets a tentative vote with New Street also having claims.
