Verdict

New Rich won here in February beating Divine Call by only a head. The latter had earlier scored over track and trip when just getting the better of WEST LEAKE. But Paul Burgoyne's charge re-opposes on better terms and it could be his turn today. Indian Affair is back on a winning mark and has been threatening to get his head back in front while Commandingpresence is not easily dismissed racing off a lower mark than when winning last year's renewal. Foie Gras is another with claims on last month's victory over course and distance.
