Verdict
A tricky puzzle to solve but FRERE JACQUES is capable of landing this. He is bidding for another success at this distance and is the one to beat based on his most recent effort. There is a question mark over whether Son Of Rafeef will be effective over this trip, Cleartherunway should be looked at, and Uzwano has to be seriously considered.
