Verdict

An ultra-competitive renewal of this valuable contest with the vote in favour of EL CAIROS, who has long been held in high regard by connections and appeals as one of the few in the field who may still have his best days ahead of him. He was disappointing when last seen but has been freshened up since, and it’s notable that Jack Kennedy keeps the faith. Laafi boasts some strong handicap form and is feared, along with the unexposed Gameball and last year’s first past the post, Helvic Dream.
