In depth

Verdict

Kreb's Cycle won over 5f at Bath last month and he and Vinnievanbaileys have the edge in experience over their three rivals, though that trio all represent powerful yards. Kodiac Khan and Al Hamdany are both by Kodiac. The former is related to several middle-distance winners and the latter is from the same family as Oaks winner Love Divine so the pair may be suited by further. TAILOR'S ROW has a US Dirt pedigree so the surface will hold no fears. Mark Johnston's juveniles continue to run well so the Street Cry colt gets the nod to make a winning debut.
