Verdict
AL HAMDANY (NAP) won in this grade at Kempton before just missing out in a tougher race at Wolverhampton when caught close home. Marco Botti’s charge can confirm running with Canberra Cliffs and make another bold bid. Berrahri was only placed at Kempton last time and has a bit to find with the selection on collateral form while Celestial Spheres steps up in trip having never figured from a high draw over 1m2f here last month. Rainbow Rebel is usually thereabouts without winning and Fanoulpifer has failed to threaten since joining current connections.
