In depth

Verdict

ALPHA TAURI is much better here than anywhere else. All four wins to date have come over C&D and he can go in again with a 7lb claimer making his task that much easier. Anton Chigurh showed a big improvement to score at easily at Doncaster last time and can figure if taking to the surface as well as Tahnee Mara did when she was only beaten a head over track and trip last time. Only Ten Per Cent was below par behind the selection here in May but is preferred to fellow C&D winners Flying Pickets and Dark Falcon if back to his best.
