        Verdict

        Reel Buddy has proved a most progressive performer this term and his potent turn of foot will make him hard to beat at this level. The four-year-old showed himself to be in good order when an excellent third in a Goodwood Group 2 over a mile last time and is equally effective over this shorter trip. Ghannam is taking the step up in class having run well in defeat in top handicaps of late and rates the main danger.
