Verdict
Written Broadcast has been in good form in classified company here but this is tougher and Bobby Joe Leg is preferred after finishing runner-up at Newcastle. AL SUIL EILE was winning over track and trip off a higher mark at this time last year and he gets the vote on the back of a better effort at Wolverhampton last time. Desert Boots returns to this longer distance with a shout and Mi Capricho remains unexposed on the all-weather.
