Verdict

Last year's winner NAKEETA has failed to add to his tally in 2021, but there's still plenty of life left in this veteran and he figures on a handy mark in what may have been his long-term target. Iain Jardine has another interesting runner in Graces Quest, with Wor Willie not yet fully exposed and also considered.
