Verdict
Plenty of runners but not too much quality, with Abyla being selected ahead of Fantastic Morning, Binocular and Muqadam. Beautifully-bred, Abyla was a fair third on Lingfield's all-weather on his most-recent outing. Even a repetition of that effort would see him competitive today, we feel. Binocular ran well over a mile here two runs ago and comes into it based on that effort. Fantastic Morning's Ripon second last time makes him a player too, and Sir Michael Stoute's Muqadam, who cost 300,000 guineas as a foal, can surely build on his Ripon debut. These, for us, are the key players, with the selection being Abyla.
