In depth

Verdict

Bengal Boy and Seattle Art could be the two to concentrate on in difficult looking handicap. The former has been in fair form of late and is capable of a bold show. Pharbeitfrome could also figure prominently. Taakid was travelling ominously well when falling last time out and is worth having a saver on if he shows no ill effects.
