Verdict

H KEY LAILS showed career-best form when winning comfortably at this course and distance 13 days ago and is fancied to follow up. Sheikh Raj has been consistent with placed efforts and should appreciate dropping back in grade after competing in a better race. Virtue Patience, a previous course winner, returns from wind surgery and could show improvement back on this all-weather surface.
