Verdict

AOMORI CITY (3) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing out of the money, but not far away over 1m in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Longchamp on May 11. He is having his first run as a gelding and is the one to beat. QUDDWAH (1) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Boasts an excellent first-up record with 4 wins from 5 starts, including last prep over 1m at Longchamp. One of the each-way hopes in the race. HOLLOWAY BOY (2) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at Ascot two starts back, then got the job done by a neck last time out over 1m in the LR Hyde Stakes at Kempton Park All Weather. He is good enough to figure in the finish again. KEFFAAF (4) is back at the races for the first time since February 21. Worth noting, he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1m at Abu Dhabi. Include in all combinations.
