Verdict

AUREL and Sallaal are the 2 who look capable of better still with narrow preference for the former with his stamina proven. This does look competitive, though, with Dangerman and Rathgar also considered.

1	Well bred and took a big step forward when adding another win to his tally on handicap debut at Hamilton last summer. Matched that form when third to subsequent Group 1 winner Cicero's Gift in listed race at Sandown but disappointed at Leopardstown final start. Bred to stay but can be keen. 2nd Pick 1 Sallaal (Ire) Jockey: Ray Dawson Trainer: Roger Varian J: Ray Dawson T: Roger Varian	97	-	-	-	36%
