Verdict
HUL AH BAH LOO got his head back in front with a cosy success over course and distance and another bold bid is expected. H Key Lails returns to the all-weather for the first time since winning at Wolverhampton in May while Island Native went close over a longer trip at the same track last time. Golden Phase has placed in all three outings since scoring at Bath in August and Raqraaq posted a better effort at Kempton still looking for a first win.
