oddschecker Verdict
ERVANI has not been beaten far on either start to date and that includes a two-length fourth in a valuable event at York last month. On that evidence, the son of Lucky Vega could take some stopping. Eklleem has an official rating of 76 and is a worthy rival, while any market support for Carnival Of Light would have to be noted.
Prediction: 1st Ervani, 2nd Eklleem, 3rd Carnival Of Light
