In depth
Verdict
Knavesmire Omen gained a deserved success last time out and remains in good form however this is more competitive and will have to improve further. Imtihan has improved with every run in good company and could well be the one to beat here. This is Fortune Island's first run in handicap company and should have improved for his seasonal reappearance last time. Washington Pink has run a series of good efforts at a lower level but again will have to find more in this company.
