Verdict
John Dunlop won this race last year and looks determined to do so again with four newcomers including expensive purchases Almutasader and Tyranny who look the pick on jockey bookings. Al Jadeed has run well on two starts and holds enough big-race entries to suggest there is more to come while South Atlantic was green on his debut at Sandown and looks sure to be better for the experience.
