Smart veteran who picked up a Group 2 at Longchamp last summer. Potential class act in this handicap if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Useful performer. Started 2022 with 2 good efforts but hasn't been in quite the same form on his last 2 starts. Bounce back needed.

Forecasts

King's Advice (5/2), Halimi (4/1), The Grand Visir (4/1), Red Verdon (11/2), Restorer (13/2), Reshoun (13/2)

Verdict

A trappy little race in which a chance is taken on the fitness of RED VERDON, as he is a very classy sort for this level if on his game. The Johnston stable is back in form so King's Advice, who has headgear fitted for just the second time, gets the nod for the forecast spot.
