In depth
Verdict
The draw has been unkind to both Ghannam and Cassirer. The former, a winner of a maiden, has it all to do off this mark, but he is open to improvement, while the latter looked in need of a step up in trip when a close up seventh at Newmarket. Atlantic Quest had what appeared the best of the draw, when winning last time, but he knuckled down to his task that day, and there may be more to come, although he will have to improve under his penalty. Strictly on the form of that race, Far Lane has the beating of him, but he looks to have a stiff task, drawn out in the car park. Moten Swing beat a big field in good style last time, but has a bit more to do here and this could be fought out by the front running Movie King, and Danish Decorum. There is little to chose between the pair, but the former appears to be an improving colt, and has the ideal draw.
