Verdict

Willie Haggas has captured this race twice in the last four years and sends out another live contender in the shape of HEADWAY who went close to winning the Group 3 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot before ending the campaign with a placed effort in the Group 2 Gimcrack at York. He looks sure to relish the step up to 7f on his return and, despite the six-month absence, may just have too much class for fellow seasonal returnees Lansky and Rufus King. Runaway Weatherbys Super Sprint winner Bengali Boys is also respected as he steps up beyond 5f for the first time.
