Verdict
Super Khali is a tremendously consistent sprinter with two recent victories on Polytrack at Chantilly to his credit. Space Cowboy ended last season by completing a double over the track and trip having won at Wolverhampton earlier but El Caballo will be difficult to beat. Karl Burke's colt began a winning run at Carlisle and though only having two rivals to beat here and at Wolverhampton did even better when making most for a Listed success over 7f at Lingfield. TIBER FLOW is rated 13lb his inferior but looks progressive enough to remain unbeaten. William Haggas' charge completed a track and trip double at the turn of the year then gave subsequent winner My Dubawi 6lb and a beating at Southwell. Kaboo was impressive when completing a hat-trick and wasn't at his best at Lingfield where he hung badly to the right.
