In depth
Verdict
Oeil De Tigre has been in sparkling form this season but is on a career-high mark as a result and may be vulnerable in an open-looking contest. Porto Ferro’s win here in June was solid form, but he hasn’t entirely convinced at the minimum trip previously, so the preference is for MAY REMAIN. He looked a little short of pace on his seasonal return, but that was a tougher race than this one and if recapturing his 2017 form, he has the class to win this. Ashpan Sam may fare better dropped in class and has place claims but Shamson hasn’t won for a while and Babyfact may find things happening too quickly around here.
