Verdict
Mount Vesuvius had Camakasi behind when successful over this trip two runs ago and found 2m5f too far next time. Zarawi and Osgood are previous course and distance winners and the former was placed on the Flat earlier this month but Dalaman and Marguerite St Just have disappointed once too often to be considered. RED ORATOR, a decent stayer on the level, took a while to open his account over hurdles but was a comfortable winner here last week and can progress further.
