Verdict
OSTAAD may be good enough on his reappearance. Runner-up in both starts last term, he wears Godolphin's first colours ahead of Exploratory who also has leading claims on his more recent third at Lingfield. Conserve beat Duchess Of Seville when second at this track earlier his month and both could figure once again while Le Grande Cheval is yet another with a shout on his earlier placed effort at this track. Intrinsic is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
