Verdict
A chance is taken COMPRISE handles the surface on his return to action. Last year’s placed efforts at Ascot and Haydock is the best form on offer and he’s preferred to Hungarian Rhapsody, who improved when runner-up here recently but that was over the minimum trip. There is little between the more exposed pair Waves and Ejabah on these terms but the newcomer Bowed Not Broken is worth a second glance in the betting.
