Verdict

OTTOMAN FLEET holds the edge on form having been in good nick in Meydan this winter and represents last year's winning yard so gets the vote in an open Earl of Sefton Stakes. Poker Face takes a step up in class but this unbeaten gelding looked an exciting prospect last term and could prove the chief threat ahead of Raadobarg who could have more to offer now with George Boughey.

  1. OTTOMAN FLEET
  2. POKER FACE (IRE)
