In depth
Verdict
Change The Subject is edging closer to that elusive first win and Bakoura could figure after a better effort on the turf last time. Islesman and Munsarim are both capable of winning off their current marks and the latter had Follow The Flag behind when third at this track last time, but the vote goes to TAROOQ. Richard Fahey's charge found the more progressive Loyalty too good on his latest start at Kempton, but meets nothing of that calibre here and had won two of his three previous starts.
