Verdict

Three of these were winners last time but one of the trio, Illuminated, is having a first run on Turf. Al Qareem and Benedict Wildes have also been kept to the all-weather so far. Neat And Dandy and Signorina Merisi are more exposed than most and State Legend has run six times, though is on a hat-trick. Persian Royal has been gelded since a beaten favourite at Chelmsford in September but Speycaster won at that track in November and makes some appeal. We’ll take a chance on MR BIG STUFF with Hollie Doyle booked for the Iffraaj colt’s reappearance. He ran his best race last season here in November when the going was testing and there is plenty of stamina on his dam’s side.
