Verdict

In this valuable contest the vote goes to Cardinal Venture ahead of Moayed and One More Round. Recently returned from Nad Al Sheba, One More Round should be sharper or his Wolverhampton return and, if anywhere near his best, has to be considered. Moayed is on an all-weather winning mark from a year ago, while course and distance winner Cardinal Venture is back to the mark from which he won here in February. The others race from out of the weights and, unless the betting tells a different story, are hard to strongly fancy. In summary, then, the vote goes to Cardinal Venture.
