Verdict

Hathaal, Right Option and Almavara look the three to concentrate on in this seller and the narrow vote is given to Hathaal. The selection was a good second behind Active Asset last time out in a much better race. This looks easier and he need only run up to tahat mark to win this with plenty in hand. Right Option rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Converti in similar grade but this looks tougher and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Almavara is another that could go well on his best form he is sure to have come on for his latest run and if blinkers bring about improvement he would have definite place claims. Of the remainder Treetops Hotel is game and consistent and is sure to run his rave but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Hathaal.
