Verdict

The form of last season's renewal of this race is working out well and PALAWAN DU MAZET, who was first past the post that day, is appealing off 2 lb lower this time round with last month's C&D reappearance spin under his belt. Nedzor has found just one too good on each of his two starts in this sphere and he is feared most ahead of Jaitroplaclasse.
