In depth
Verdict
Hormuz who has been running with credit in a lot better races of late is taken to score in good style now he is dropped back down into claiming company despite top weight. This habitual front runner is well drawn in stall 16 and he will be hard to catch. Short Respite was third beaten six lengths in a Classified Stakes race last time out at Carlisle and if he can reproduce that form he should go close. Hub Hub was forth in a similar contest to this last time out on the AW and he has run to a similar standard on turf and he could run well off what looks a fair mark. Bee Health Boy could also run well but his best form is with plenty of cut in the ground but he is from a stable on the crest of a wave and any market move would be significant. Olivia Rose would also have a chance on her best form but she was slightly disappointing last time out. Aqribaa could also be a lively outsider.
