In depth
Verdict
A trappy event that again may be best left to those at the head of the market. Khayal has shaped up well enough in his outings so far but has not really lived up to his potential as yet. The same sentiments apply to Major Adventure but he has been a little frustrating of late and a more reliable selection could be One Of The Natives, even though he was a faller last time out. He has a decent cruising speed and could take some pegging back if he gets his own way out in front.
