Verdict

LIBERATIO returned a losing favourite here earlier this month when the winner took advantage of more favourable terms. Mick Halford’s charge gets another chance in this company and should confirm latest running with Tomwontlisten. Wedding Photo showed improvement when placed on a recent comeback run here and is preferred to the more exposed pair Dayereh and Saga Altais while the UK raider Elysees Palace is worthy of consideration given Sir Mark Prescott has won with three of only seven runners here in recent years.
