Verdict

ALENQUER's Classic Trial victory at Sandown received the ultimate form boost when runner-up Adayar bolted up in the Derby just under a fortnight ago. With further improvement on the cards, he's a confident selection to score again upped further in trip. The Mediterranean still looked a little rough around the edges when second in a listed event last time but he's feared most, ahead of Yibir.
