Verdict

Luluwa had the misfortune to run up against Zenda at Warwick first-time-up this season and while she has had a long break, the fact that she did hold entries for both the Guineas and Oaks indicates that she clearly possesses some ability and that if any possible problems have been solved, she is the one to beat here. Courageous Duke has become a frustrating sort to follow and has been running in handicap company. He sets a fair yardstick today but he is always vulnerable to something unexposed. Ocean Spirit is another horse to return from a lay-off. He misbehaved on his seasonal debut but has been gelded since that first racecourse start and any market support on this occasion would be worth noting. Pagan Dance ran respectfully after a lay-off to be second to Imbibing. She looked to be in need of further on that occasion and has to go close if coming on for the run. Mureefa represents the Gosden stable and is one to watch in the market.
