In depth

Verdict

NARALSAIF has got her act together this year and completed a hat-trick with last week’s easy win at Wolverhampton. She can shrug off a penalty on that evidence and is preferred to Arlecchino's Leap, who scored over track and trip last time with the disappointing Palawan back in fourth. Roman De Brut is back on a winning mark and should be sharper for last month’s comeback while Chetan is another competing off a tempting mark compared to last year’s winning form and makes more appeal than Squire.
