Verdict

Black Kalanisi has every chance on last month’s success at Goodwood while Danni California has been in good form over shorter trips, having won easily over 1m6f at Wetherby earlier. Khilwafy has won three times on Tapeta and debuts on the Turf with a shout while Gift Of Raaj stays well but is upped in class. Flint Hill posted a better effort at Pontefract last time but was headed in the closing stages of this contest last year by the runner-up GHADBBAAN. The latter has switched yards since but can race off the same mark today and Andrea Atzeni’s presence in the saddle take the eye.
