Verdict
Khabib arrives in fine form having won twice at Newcastle before going close at Musselburgh. The veteran Secretinthepark is still winning races and scored over track and trip last summer while Runninwild finished runner-up here in September to READY FREDDIE GO. The latter won three times over course and distance last season, including this contest, and had a terrible draw at Beverley on his reappearance when behind third-placed Saluti. The latter finished fourth in last year’s renewal and is preferred of his yard’s three runners with Modular Magic perhaps best of the rest.
