In depth
Verdict
Htilominlo looks no nearer winning but all of the remainder can be given a chance. Of those, MURHIB placed in this grade when last over course and distance and is 4lb lower today. Berrahri returns to this longer trip after placing at Lingfield while Sophosc finished in front of subsequent runner-up Crimson King when third at Kempton recently. Wadacre Gogo wasn’t beaten far when fourth here in October though that was in a lower grade.
