Verdict

Roger Varian has won this race in two of the last three years and his unraced gelding GORHAM'S CAVE can take this years renewal. The selection is out of a Group 2 winning filly in France and a half-brother to a couple of useful Flat performers. Raawy ran well when finishing runner-up on debut and he can fill the same position here while the experienced Wannabe Friends, third in a handicap last time out can take third.
