In depth
Verdict
Hafeet Star won’t mind if the rains arrive given there was cut in the ground when he posted a better effort at Hamilton but EXALTED LEADER is preferred. The latter had a subsequent winner behind when fourth here on his debut and improvement looks likely having been gelded since. Catterick third Royal Guard is another expected to finish closer along with Showalong and Tamaska while Millions is preferred of the newcomers ahead of Cleveleys and the latter’s stablemate Forbidden Secret.
