Verdict
TARSEEKH hasn’t won since landing this contest in 2019 but is back on a winning mark and posted a better effort here last time. He gets a speculative vote ahead of Breezyandbright, who has yet to win but has gone close on Turf the last twice. Porfin has been thereabouts over 7f recently but Pina Collada has failed to build on an earlier short-head defeat here. Twice As Likely may prove best of the rest.
