Verdict
Fayr Jag continues to defy the handicapper with consistent performances in big fields. His second over this course and distance last time out is the pick of the form in this race. Impressive Flight was just under two lengths back in third in the HQ race and the pair are closely matched here today. Of the others Birjand was a good winner here last time and is very lightly raced so it would be no surprise to see this filly play a major part while Krugerrand will appreciate this step back in trip and holds each way possibilities.
