    In depth

    Verdict

    Rewaayat completed a double over 6f last year but is 12lb higher than when last successful. Arecibo is preferred to stablemate Araifjan in this grade while Equitation shares ownership with the latter pair, though drops down from 7f. HAN SOLO BERGER (NAP) has been thereabouts in decent sprints on the all-weather recently and, racing off a 3lb lower mark back in this surface having won on the July course here last summer, Chris Wall’s charge may prove the one to side with. Jack The Truth has also been competing on the all-weather but hasn’t won on Turf since 2019 while Illusionist would prefer some cut in the ground.
