Verdict

Course and distance winner Giant's Treasure could only manage third under a penalty on his reappearance. Moqarrab won easily here in December but the Godolphin colt is having his first start since and THE CHEMIST (NAP) is preferred. She was also successful over track and trip earlier this month and the form looks solid enough with third-placed horse subsequently winning. Shamlahar and Poppy Love were both placed on their respective debuts and could go well ahead of Flamenco.
