In depth
Verdict
In a competitive contest, Mambazo is favoured ahead of Prince Tum Tum and Charlie Delta. Formerly with John Gosden, Foreign Edition looked to be recovering his form last time and has to be considered on his all-weather debut. Turn On The Style is well-weighted based on 2005 form and his all-weather record is sound enough. Brandywell Boy has to be considered off his mark, as does Prince Tum Tum, although he rarely wins these days, but he is closely weighted with Red Rosein and Mambazo based on recent course and distance form. The latter loves it here and looks set to go well again from a good draw. Figaro Flyer is actually weighted to reverse form with Mambazo based on recent course and distance form. The booking of Ryan Moore for Charlie Delta catches the eye, while Xaluna Bay appreciated the return to the all-weather last time and looks set to go well again. As you can tell, it is a tricky race, and Mambazo might just be able to benefit from his good draw.
