    Verdict

    AZZURI will be a short price in this, despite his penalty. He beat a subsequent dual winner at Huntingdon in March and has only found one too good since in decent races at Wincanton and Ayr. Enola Gay finished alongside a consistent sort on her UK debut at Newbury in December and still has some scope but none of the others have shown much so far.
