In depth
Verdict
A field large in numbers but low in quality. Buckskin Lad was second in a similar contest last time on soft ground. This faster surface is sure to suit and he will be hard to beat running off the same mark here. Muharib Lady has been disappointing of late but it would be no surprise if she bounced back to form now that she has her favoured fast ground. Albamores Madam was fourth in a better race last time out, doing all her best work at the finish and she will appreciate the step up in trip. Diorama was beaten in a seller last time and he needs to improve on that effort to score here. Of the remainder Satanas is from a top yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
