Verdict
Simon Walker was on board AZOR AHAI when his mount was beaten only a neck in soft going at Windsor earlier in the week. He can race off the same mark today. Brodie Hampson partnered last year’s winner and has also won on Percy Prosecco in the past. He is preferred to stablemate One To Go while Emily Easterby steered the veteran Dance King to victory at Ripon back in August. The Game Is On won one of these events at Goodwood in the same month and Celtic Classic can figure for Becky Smith.
