      Verdict

      A tricky race to call but Iberus could be the key, as he is defiantly better than his Royal Ascot finishing position would suggest. With Forbering, Analyse and The Glen all respected as dangers. However, Iberus, who has some useful form to his name from Germany, has been slow to come to hand for his new connections, but will find this a much easier task than the last time he raced on the Roodey. He had little chance on that occasion against the likes of Asian Heights and Compton Bolter, but handled the course well enough to give him a slender vote here. Forbering has the ability to go close and has a live chance at the weights. He should have no problems with the trip and going and looks to be the safest option for the forecast. But Iberus has to be the value call.
