Verdict

The best race of the season so far with all bar two rated 100 or over. Bochart could only finish third a year ago when rated 95 but won two tough handicaps in a canter subsequently before ending the campaign with a fifth in a Group 3. His stable companion LEADING SPIRIT was beaten less than a length in that latter event when only headed close home and may have made enough progress to make a successful return to action. Waady had a prep run before finishing runner-up last year then did better when dropped down to 5f on Turf later ending with a superb victory in a Group 2 in February. The veteran My Catch is smart on his day with seven victories to his credit and Doug Watson will have him tuned up for his reappearance while Enjazaat won four times for Owen Burrows including on Polytrack at Kempton.
