Verdict
Competitive stuff with the improving Khamaary , Gulliver and Accession all making varying levels of appeal for different reasons. The answer, however, may lie in northern raider VON BLUCHER given that the one-time John Gosden inmate signalled a return to his best form when finishing a fine third in an arguably stronger event on easy ground at York last time out.
