Verdict
OMNIVEGA (NAP) was only fourth at Ascot bidding for a four-timer but wasn’t beaten far in a higher grade contest than this. He can return to winning ways back down in class for this. Iffraaz won at Kempton on his first attempt at today’s trip though is penalised and third-placed Landue is weighted to reverse running in first-time blinkers while Indigo Lake remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Doncaster back in June. Eastern Sheriff gets a change of headgear having struggled over a longer trip at York and is preferred to Weather Front and Glan Y Gors back at this level.
