Expert View Verdict

Verdict

VALENDAY was disappointing on his reappearance in the spring but it's likely he needed the run that day and if he matches the level of form he showed at 2 he will be tough to beat. He's bred to come into his own over middle distances as is Kahin who has produced the best form this year. With a fitness edge over his main rival the William Haggas colt looks the chief threat. Useful hurdler Florida Dreams is likely to come into his own in this discipline over further in handicaps but he could stay on for a place on the podium.
