Verdict
Love Brothers, Always Best, Iron Fist and Fasuby are a handful against the field in this trappy opener and the vote is given to Love Brothers. The selection finished in mid-division on his debut behind Dubai Magic, he is sure to have lear=nt from the experience and with his yard in form he looks the value bet in an open affair. Always Best rates the main danger as he is a well bred type but he unseated his rider on his debut so he can not be put forward with any confidence as it is hard to know what to expect. Iron Fist was a fair sixth behind Rallying Cry last time and is another that is sure to improve so should be noted in the market while Fasuby has place claims but is very exposed and with this in mind for the winner we return to Love Brothers in a race where the market will be very informative.
