Verdict
Exclusion Zone returned from a long absence with a relish last time and was only just run out of things inn the closing stages. That was his first outing for 500 days and he is sure to strip fitter this time around. Noble Cyrano and Dilsaa could capitalise if Exclusion Zone fails to deliver on this first attempt at racing on turf.
