Verdict

This trip represents unchartered waters for OMAKASE but she has improved for the step up to 1½m the last twice and there's a good chance that this stiffer test will be right up her street. Metamorpheus was below par on his all-weather/yard debut here a fortnight ago but he's capable of much better and is lurking on a dangerous mark, while Billie Frechette and Duke Otto, both of whom arrive here on the back of good efforts over hurdles, are also feared.
