Verdict

Beauvrai, Borzoi Maestro and Hurricane Floyd are three against the field in this claimer and the tentative nomination goes to Beauvrai. The selection won well in similar grade last time out when defeating Indrani and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Bozori Maestro rates the main danger he finished in mid-division in a better race behind Wunderbra last time that form looks rock solid and a reproduction of that effort would give him definite place claims. Hurricane Floyd is another worthy of respect he need only reproduce his effort that saw him finish fourth behind Unscrupulous at Royal Ascot to score but he never runs two races the same and for that reason he is over looked on this occasion. Of the remainder Beyond Calculation looks to be on a fair mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Beauvrai.
