Verdict

A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap and all have chances on their best form Promotion and Conquering Love are both sure to have there supporters but we will take a chance on Seeyaaj. The colt from the Alec Stewart yard was a good winner last time out when defeating Dawaar. He is sure to improve and will be hard to beat. Promotion rates the main danger on his latest third behind Largo but with the Stoute horses slightly out of form he is opposed on this occasion. Conquering Love is in top form but he may struggle to give weight and a beating to some unexposed rivals. Fernery also won well last time and if the rain came he would not be far away but we are happy to stick with Seeyaaj
