In depth

Verdict

Last year's winner CANVASSED has another crack after looking back to his best last month when coming with a late burst to snatch second from stablemate Al Tariq. Doug Watson's pair are closely matched and hold Freedom Fighter and Ejtilaab on that run with preference just for Canvassed. Notre Dame came good in a handicap last week and looks better than stable companion Positivity on current form.
