Verdict

SEREFELI (NAP) won this last year from exactly the same mark and has been racing over further. He looks to have been primed for another crack and though Guanabara Bay, who finished a close fifth, is 6lb better off Peter Fahey's charge can go in again. Dream Focus was making his handicap debut when runner-up at Gowran on Saturday and has improvement in him though this is a very tough contest and Keep Believing was running well on ground with some give in the spring. Ace Of Diamonds has been racing over much further while Alfirak has only won at Dundalk and Lady Nathaniel has never won.
