In depth

Verdict

Ebinzayd, World Vision and Il Cavaliere are all shortlisted here and the vote is given to Ebinzayd. The selection won in convincing style last time out at Catterick when beating Dix Bay. That was his first run after a three-month absence from the track and he should be capable of scoring again. World Vision was disappointing last time but he had previously won well on this track when beating Enzo De Baune. This trip however may not be his best and even though he has conditions to suit he may find one too good. Il Cavaliere is another with place prospects but he will need to improve on his course and distance second behind Reivers Moon if he is to get his head in front. Monita Des Bois is from a top yard and is another to consider but for the winner we return to Ebinzayd.
