      Verdict

      Cape Hawk can make amends for a below par display by getting the better of Mujood and Kavachi. The selection is well regarded and had a progressive profile prior to a disappointing run when heavily backed at Sandown on his latest start. He has yet to win on grass but should be suited by soft ground and is well worth another chance. Frederick Ozanam was last seen finishing third in a Group 3 for Aidan O'Brien and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of his chances. Very Wise has a bit to prove these days but Salient is no back number and is capable of springing a surprise. Mujood and Kavachi have been in great form and shouldn't be underestimated but we expect them to fall prey to Cape Hawk.
