Verdict
This is the feature event of the afternoon and the three-year-olds may come out best here, with Hello Roberto taken to land this decent prize from Muy Bien and Haydn. Mark Polglase's filly ran a cracker at Lingfield last week when runner-up to the well handicapped Kabreet. She has also shown up nicely on this surface, running a gallant second to Blue Power in a decent nursery back in December. Muy Bien doesn't know how to run a bad race here and his second to the inform Blofeld early last month puts him right in the firing line today. The dark horse in the field is the Peter Chapple-Hyam contender Haydn. This Aidan O'Brien cast off contested some top class races last season including the National Stakes at the Curragh. He won on his debut at Tipperary so obviously goes well fresh, and if handling the surface this son of Stravinsky will be a danger to all. Of the older horses Bond Boy could be returning to form, however Hello Roberto gets all the allowances and is taken to land the spoils.
