Verdict
Plenty of in-form sorts in opposition including KITARO KICH, who, having shed the maiden tag on his penultimate start, again shaped well in the circumstances when third at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and he remains of interest from the same mark. Likeable filly Bint Havana Gold following her last-time-out success, H Key Lails and Capuchinero are just a trio of others to consider.
