Verdict
BERRAHRI (NAP) handled the track well when just missing out over course and distance a week ago. John Best’s charge is taken to go one better racing off the same mark. East India found Attain too good at Bath on his penultimate start but Berkeley Vale beat the latter when scoring at the same track in May and can figure. Lopito de Vega is not badly treated if back to his best and the less exposed Transmitting is preferred to Anton Chigurh, who hasn’t won on Turf since 2012.
