Verdict

Dafore is the least exposed runner in the field and can beat Prince Hector and Star Sensation. Richard Hannon's colt repaid a small chunk of his expensive purchase price when landing a Salisbury maiden on his debut last month. The form has been given the perfect boost as the runner up won by five lengths next time out and Dafore will be difficult to beat. Prince Hector could be the one to chase home the selection having performed with credit on all three outings this campaign including a close second to Pinchbeck at Yarmouth. Star Sensation has a great chance on official ratings and looked on his way back last time at Beverley last time. So a fascinating event that should go the way of Dafore.
