Verdict
KEBLE is getting closer and finished clear of the rest including Grand Canyon, Covenant and Front Five when runner-up at Newbury last time. That looks the strongest form on offer and John Gosden's colt is preferred to Fiesole. The latter could prove a threat stepping up in distance after placing at Kempton in December. Port has shown little so far and the newcomer Mashkoor Approach may need further.
