Verdict

Clive Cox's REDORANGE ran a cracker when third over C&D at the Royal meeting, coming home first in his group, and can gain compensation here at the chief expense of Holkham Bay who also shaped better than his position suggests when fourth in the Wokingham here. Alzahir is enjoying a fine season and can't be ruled out either in his bid for a fifth victory, while Blue Day, Glamorous Breeze and Woodhay Wonder also need factoring in. Germanic completes the shortlist.
