Verdict
Luca Cumani took the inaugural running of this maiden 12 months ago and KOORA (NAP) can follow suit. Held up well off the pace on her debut over course and distance last month, she stayed on nicely without being given a hard race and will be more the finished article today. Star Storm is probably the form pick on his fourth in a Listed race at Hamilton but he's become expensive to follow. Mr Quicksilver is also proving difficult to place but there should be more to come from the once-raced Bastille Day and newcomer Central Square is hard to ignore given the form of his yard, though this may be far enough on breeding.
