In depth
Verdict
This should be run at a decent pace with Prancing Oscar and Alnasl likely to go forward and that could set the race up nicely for TAKE A TURN who looks as though he has more to come and can defy a penalty here. Quite a few of these look to be struggling for form although Devil's Guard may well be capable of better and deserves another chance to prove his worth.
