Verdict

A few of these, notably Gossiping, Presumido and Alejandro require patient handling and a strong gallop. There is no obvious pace angle in this and as such THE WARRIOR is selected as he appears more tactically adaptable and appears to have improved following a gelding operation. Gossiping has to be feared should the race turn out to be run to suit. Thaqaffa has joined a good young trainer and his AW record suggests he could produce a big run at a rewarding price.
