In depth
Verdict
Another moderate contest with a maximum turnout. King Of Peru, a high-class sprinter in days gone by, is still capable at this level, but he normally takes a race or two to come to hand. Bodfari Pride, who rattled off a hat-trick last summer, including a coupe of races at this level, has been found out in better company since. A return to this grade should see him in a better light. However, the one to be with is last years winner Mizhar, who will again have the assistance of Kieren Fallon. He is effective under these conditions and looks to have every chance of following up.
