      In depth

      Verdict

      First-time blinkers appeared to make the difference when CITY TOUR beat My Boy Sepoy narrowly over the course and distance last month. The winner is slightly worse off but, if the headgear works again, he can follow up. Ilhabela Fact completed a double here last February and is back on the same mark as his last victory while Agent Zigzag, a dual winner on Turf in Ireland, looks the type to be suited by the surface and is on a fair mark.
