Verdict

LIMATO may be a pound or two short of his very best these days but he absolutely hacked up in this race last year and has won well the last twice so will take an awful lot of beating once again. D'bai is a big danger having gone down by a neck to the very useful Mustashry latest at Doncaster at this level and that rival followed up under a penalty here. Mankib steps up in class but he was most impressive at Newbury latest and is clearly on the up now in the care of William Haggas.
