Verdict

Some decent horses have won this including Jezki three years ago. Cape City Boy showed the benefit of a promising debut with an impressive victory over The West's Awake at Down Royal earlier this month. The winner was receiving 7lb and the pair meet on level terms here taking jockey claims into consideration so there should be very little between them this time. Charbel is a newcomer bred mainly for the Flat so should have enough pace but Coeur Joyeux has a fine jumping pedigree and is one to note for the future. Gordon Elliott has had a tremendous season with his bumpers and TAJSEER could be another winner for the yard. He didn't appear to be fancied on his debut at Ayr and though beaten produced an eye-catching display in what looked a strong event so he's taken to go one better.
