Verdict

Saafarr has been tackling further but coming up against useful opposition. He attempted to make all in a 1m2f Group 3 at Leopardstown in May but could only stay on at one pace when headed. He's comfortably the form pick though whether the drop in distance will suit is another matter and he's taken on with SIKANDARABAD. Dermot Weld's charge hasn't run since last June when an eye-catching second to Painted Cliffs, who won a Group 2 on his next start. He should be tuned up for this and gets the nod. The remainder don't look to have anything like the same quality but Secret Wizard can grab a share of the prize money as he ran much better at Navan last time.
