In depth
Verdict
As is often the case in a race of this nature, form clues are thin on the ground and the market may provide the best guide. Altareek won a shade cosily on his debut but was then most disappointing in more testing conditions next time and may be worth a chance to atone on this quicker surface despite having to concede weight all round. Little Sport showed promise first time but had his limitations brutally exposed at Aintree and will do better in this grade while Bosworth Boy is progressing along the right lines and is another to consider along with Khaladjistan if handling the ground and the newcomer Askadari who should be noted in the betting exchanges.
