Verdict

IKHTIRAAQ is improving fast and, based on the ease in which he cleared away from two others at Pontefract a week ago, he can stay ahead of the handicapper for a while yet, so he's a confident choice to complete a hat-trick for all this is a more-competitive scenario. Ascending had something to spare when winning at Goodwood and is a big danger. Mercurius Power and Laguna Veneta are also considered.

  1. IKHTIRAAQ (IRE)
