Verdict

HARRY'S YACHT (4) looks very well placed again. The stable have worked him out nicely - 7f rolling along on speed is his go, and he won well here in a BM84 with 133lbs last time. He drops 14lbs into this and should take plenty of catching again. ENXUTO (2) has been very good in two runs back, chasing home Birdman in the G2 Blamey Stakes second up. Back to 7f here is only a slight niggle, he'll be very hard to hold out. VEIGHT (1) will find this much easier than the G1 Futurity last time. Jury's out on how well he's going but 128lbs after the claim is winnable. ATHANATOS (3) resumes. He didn't manage a win last campaign but was running well and has each way claims. AL DUCA (5) next best but prefer over further.
