Verdict

KALAMIA KING (3) has been building towards a breakthrough win and was solid when runner-up at his latest appearance. He maps to enjoy a soft run and is already proven at the distance. He looks like the horse they all have to beat. ALZURRI (2) should take improvement from his first-up effort and has shown enough ability in previous campaigns to be highly competitive in this company. Each way claims. AND I AM (6) has been improving with racing and profiles as a genuine top 3 contender stepping up to the mile. SEALORD (14) has shown enough this preparation to suggest he can sneak into the minor money at some big odds.
