In depth
Verdict
Hasanoanda won at Lingfield in January with a subsequent winner behind but has to give weight to IBRAZ. The latter finished behind Aurum, who went on to place in Listed company, when third at Newmarket last month and Roger Varian’s colt gets the nod on that form. Infrastructure showed good progress to place at Chester last time and Papelaine ran well for third at Goodwood recently. Kindred is a stablemate to the selection and Doctor Wonderful may prove a bigger threat of the newcomers.
