Verdict
Alzahir may improve having his second start after a wind operation though will need to if he’s to reverse latest running with PHERENIKOS. The latter finished third at Yarmouth on his debut and the half-brother to stablemate and 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus can open his account. Apex and Berkshire Cruz are likely improvers and preferred to Burnish while Pumalin Park and Adwan are newcomers to note.
