        Verdict

        A few of these have been kept busy of late and should at least be bouncing fit for this less than epic clash. However, Willhewiz is less exposed than most and he is given another chance to shine here. Four Jays failed to make the most of a good opportunity at Beverley earlier in the week and looks to be one to be wary of, so Ketan, who was understandably outclassed in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Ascot last time, is feared most of the rest. However, Willhewiz just edges the vote as he looks to be a more straightforward character, and John Egan may be able to steer the colt towards his the fourth win of his career if all goes to plan today.
