        Verdict

        Karl Burke has a very good strike rate in races of this nature and looks the man to be with again as he sends out Wares Home as his representative in the seller. That is not to say that the likes of Naughty Girl, Zitomir and Mount Pekan do not hail from shrewd operations and any one of that trio is capable of posing a few problems in a race like this. The same has to be said of Lion's Domane, whose yard have enjoyed a steady stream of winners lately and he cannot be ruled out of making the frame. Zarin is another worth looking out for in the betting as he was thought to be good enough to take his chance in a Group One in France as a three-year-old. His decline has been rapid since then, but the best of his All-Weather efforts would be good enough to go close here. Nevertheless, Wares Home is much the best in on these terms and, from the foot of the weights, he has cracking chance to prove it today.
