In depth

Verdict

HOT TEAM stands out on a second at York last time when just failing to beat the progressive Persian Moon. Hugo Palmer’s charge finished six lengths clear of the rest and looks the one to beat on that form. Elegant Love didn’t improve as expected when fourth at Ffos Las while Al Wafi may prove best of the Hannon-trained trio ahead of Aspire Tower. Maykir is related to three winners and is preferred to Dudley's Boy of the other newcomers.
