Verdict

Stablemates Best Tamayuz and Burnhope have been taking it in turns to beat each other and it's anybody's guess which one will come out best today. The latter was beaten by Be Royale over track and trip in November and Mike Appleby's charge should also figure. Red Primo and Sakash are course and distance winners but both have something to prove now having risen in the weights, unlike KUNG HEI FAT CHOY (NAP) who won last year's renewal off today's mark. A runner-up to Westminster here last week, James Given's charge looks set for a return to winning ways.
