Verdict

There is likely to be plenty of pace on here and it would be no surprise to see Espada try and draw the sting out of his field today. However, Majhool has some useful course form to his name and he is marginally preferred over Ripple Effect, who will be a popular choice after going close on her latest start. Ripple Effect was well beaten when she was last tried over seven furlongs and she is reluctantly overlooked today. Of the rest, Muqtadi is capable of causing them all a few problems and is not one to rule out too quickly in spite of his less than convincing profile. However, Majhool comes here on the back of a short winter break and will very hard to beat if his record when fresh is anything to go by. The booking of Ian Mongan is also another big positive and we take Majhool to confirm the form with Ripple Effect over his ideal trip.
