Verdict

COMMANCHE FALLS posted a fine second off an official mark of 109 in the Ayr Gold Cup last time and this dual Stewards' Cup winner can gain a deserved first victory in pattern company here. Stable companion Gale Force Maya could prove the main threat if, as expected, building on her listed Ayr success, although Rohaan has the form to play a big part too now back at the scene of his two Wokingham victories. Summerghand and Al Suhail complete the shortlist in a cracking Group 3.

  1. COMMANCHE FALLS
  2. GALE FORCE MAYA
  3. ROHAAN (IRE)
