Verdict

YIBIR is the class act in this field and, if he avoids the slow start that was his undoing last time, he should be too good for his rivals. Mostahdaf wasn't disgraced at Royal Ascot and he's the clear danger on form, while a solid showing can be expected from West End Charmer back up in distance/grade.

  1. YIBIR
