Race preview
This looks a good opportunity for the classy IROKO to make a winning start to his season. He wasn't disgraced when finishing fifth in the Turners at the Cheltenham Festival on his return from an absence, before posting an excellent runner-up effort in an Aintree Grade 1 over 3m1f. The talented but quirky Trelawne was last seen falling in the Ultima at Cheltenham but commands respect provided he puts his best foot forward. Tahmuras is respected most of the remainder.
