Verdict

Marginal preference in this wide-open listed event is for ELARAK who is taken to gain a deserved first success of the season on the back of a good second in listed company at Newmarket. Fondo Blanco also arrives in fine fettle and seems sure to go well but might have to settle for a place again. Spy Chief could bounce back after being poorly drawn in the Wokingham and the upwardly-mobile All Moonshine needs factoring in too.
