      Verdict

      Champion Lion should have no trouble landing this. He was desperately unlucky over course and distance last time, having finally obtained a run, he found the winner beyond recall. The winner that day Maimana went on to win the Warwick Oaks and took half a second off the course record just for good measure. Persian Embers may follow him home, at a respectable distance.
