Verdict

A tough race with most of the runners holding realistic chances. Narrow preference is for THE AMBER FORT who was very impressive winning on his first run for his new yard and the way he hit the line there is more improvement now he gets this extra furlong. Critical Thinking is up again in the weights but is flying at the moment and can go close again. Alqasar and Highly Sprung should be noted in the market for their respective new stables with the latter open to more improvement after showing promise at this distance.
  1. The Amber Fort
  2. Critical Thinking
  3. Highly Sprung
