Verdict
Highly Prized was very impressive at Southwell and has nothing to fear from Fiesole on that run but has been rewarded with a 10lb hike in the ratings. Zambella should do better this season while Richard Johnson has chosen St Gallen of the three Olly Murphy runners. Dino Velvet is a reliable sort in the grade and El Borracho is an improving novice but this opposition is likely to prove too hot for veteran Hallings Comet. JAMACHO has been winning lesser contests with his head in his chest. He’s up another 7lb and will be going half-a-stride quicker in this grade but sharp, left-handed tracks are his forte and he should be followed until beaten.
