Verdict
HENLEY failed to land the odds on slow ground at Windsor last time but went close at York before that. He should appreciate this longer trip and is preferred to Wonder Of Qatar. The latter drops back in distance after staying on to take second at Leicester. Wet Sail improved when placed at Windsor recently while Astrophysics finished ahead of Manofmanytalents when runner-up at Sandown. Rahmah showed some promise at Redcar and the newcomer Waady is worth noting.
