        started very slowly, lost all chance and always detached

        In depth

        Verdict

        This course brings the best out of BURAUQ and, given that he holds a few of these on recent form, the five-year-old edges the nomiation as the one to be on in the finale. Oeil De Tigre also acts well at this altitude and is forwarded as the biggest threat, while Essaka and Showmethewayavrilo can scrap it out as the best of the rest. Jaganory is respected in his bid for a hat-trick but looks to face a tough test on these terms.
