Verdict

MATTERHORN is a typically wily character from the Mark Johnston yard; he can make the most of the drop in grade to add to an already impressive strike-rate that has seen him win 7 of his 14 previous starts. He's very capable at this level and might hold too many guns for Khafoo Shememi, who can feasibly have been freshened up by switching to Sir Michael Stoute's yard but hasn't had much time to adjust to his new trainer's regimes. Last year's winner Zhui Feng can again get the better of Oh This Is Us but has something to prove on recent efforts. New Graduate needs a step forward but would be dangerous to eliminate without checking him out in the betting.
