Verdict

RAMON DI LORIA has shaped as though his turn may be near the last twice, latterly finishing a close third over C&D off a 1 lb higher mark. The 8-y-o shades preference ahead of Yorkshire Glory and Instant Bond (in that order of preference), both of whom sport new headgear. Asadjumeirah is another with realistic claims.
