Many with chances in a trappy race. The verdict goes tentatively to RAPHAEL who showed his well being under a tender ride at Naas on his reappearance and should strip fitter here and is capable of progressing. Phoenix Open is another open to improvement and it remains to be seen whether the handicapper has given him a fair weights rise for his recent maiden win. Merited won well last time out and is obviously in good heart. She will run her race but may find one or two too good.
