Verdict

Eagle Creek seems to be the more fancied of the two Sheikh Obaid runners and both of them should go well but preference is for LA CASA TARIFA . Mark Johnston's gelding won over C&D in April, and should prefer this test compared to a longer race at Goodwood last time when it seemed like he didn't stay. He should be on a workable handicap mark, and has the services of Silvestre De Sousa for the first time. Cullingworth is another to consider, especially if any further rain were to arrive.
