In depth
Verdict
Al Raahi, Fongs Gazelle and Tencendur are three against the field in a tough nursery and the vote is given to Al Raahi. The selection was a fair second behind Valebenny last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Fongs Gazelle rates the main danger on his latest second behind Babieca. However he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Tencendur is another that could go well on his best form but he is more exposed than most and looks worth taking on. Moonwalking ran well last time out but looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder The Mighty Ogmore is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Al Raahi.
