Verdict

El Nay finished a creditable second at Chester recently and looks more than capable, but he might have to play second-fiddle once more given the inclusion of ALFARAZ in this field. Runner-up at both Goodwood and Epsom as a two-year-old, he returned to finish sixth Newbury and although that might have been a little disappointing, the winner has since landed the Lingfield Derby Trial. He sets the standard with an official rating of 90 and if settling in the first-time hood, he could prove too good for these. Echo Of Stars is next best.

Top Tip: Alfaraz (4)
Watch out for: El Nay (7)

ALFARAZ sets the standard on his 2yo efforts and the first-time hood might help him here having been too keen over this trip on his reappearance. He sets the standard but El Nay has built up a pretty solid profile and ran well over this trip at Chester last time. He's the danger while Echo Of Stars needs considering also having run well at Newbury over this trip last time.
