Verdict
Imperial Focus has shown decent form in a couple of maidens but faces a posse of Newmarket raiders. Shargiah displayed some ability on just his second start last time but still suggested more experience is needed. There is probably very little between Tegara and WRAPPED on the form book. Both have been absent since last autumn but should come into their own as three-year-olds. William Haggas’ filly gets the nod as a close-up fourth to Light Up Our World last August reads well after Saturday.
