Verdict
Baliyad has found only one too good the last twice but has only won a seller so far. Alghazaal is 1-19 and has yet to place over hurdles but he has hinted at ability and this won’t take much winning. PER VINO VERITAS (NAP) disappointed on his final start last season but earlier efforts here and at Exeter suggest he’s the one to beat in this if fully wound-up as he has been dropped another couple of pounds.
