In depth
Verdict
Qazween has more to do than when winning at Epsom. He is going to need luck from his draw, as he likes to come from off the pace and he may just struggle for a run. Clematis was on edge in the paddock at Yarmouth, where she had two handlers. She didn't exactly impress with her attitude in the race itself and looks one to treat with caution. A chance is taken with Balakiref, who is well drawn, handles fast ground and is effective at this trip. Crystal Valkyrie, who is bred to stay middle-distances, is interesting now connections have dropped her in trip. She is well drawn and f she can lay up with the early pace, she may outstay a few of these in the closing stages.
