VERY EXCELLENT is less exposed than the bulk of his rivals and arrives on the back of an excellent second to Church Mountain at Galway 16 days ago. With cheekpieces applied, he's fancied to reverse form with that rival and open his account from a favourable draw. Recent Khafaaq can usually be relied upon, so he should give another good account of himself.
