Verdict

A good-quality handicap and cases can be made for many. NAYATI has dropped below his last successful mark and could show the benefit of a considerate reppearance at Huntingdon now that his yard is going a bit better. Rare Edition disappointed in Grade 1 company at the big Spring Festivals, but could well bounce back returning fresh again (unbeaten first time out in short career), while Clear White Light and Tommy's Oscar are others to note.
