Verdict

A consolation race for the Royal Hunt Cup and nearly as competitive as the valuable handicap itself. The one who could be best suited to this race is the unexposed SALAYEL. She put up her best UK performance in a big field at York and given that they're like to go a decent gallop here, she ought to be able to settle better than she has in some of her starts. Sir Busker is another who will be suited to a decent pace and a 4lb rise is fair for his recent success at Newcastle. Plantadream was impressive on return and looks less exposed than most of his rivals; he looks interesting if he converts his AW form to turf.
  1. Salayel
  2. Plantadream
  3. Sir Busker
