Verdict

A useful handicap. MARHABA GHAIYYATH's runner-up efforts at a couple of the big meetings last summer represent strong form and, with an outing his belt, he's taken to recapture that level and prove too strong for the reappearing Insanity. Have Secret is next on the list.

  1. MARHABA GHAIYYATH (IRE)
  2. INSANITY
  3. HAVE SECRET (IRE)
