This has the makings of a solid piece of form for future reference; with Sentiero Rosso given slender preference over Dance Night and Beckermet out of the colts, while Key Secret edges the vote as the biggest danger from the fillies. The last named already has form on this sort of ground and should find this trip is with in her capabilities. However, she was found a little short in a Group 3 in France earlier in the month has a little to prove back in a mixed-sex race and others make more appeal. Beckermet failed to act on the ground when third in a Listed race at York and also has to reestablish his credentials after failing to hit the mark in three subsequent outings following his smooth success at Chester. This extra furlong could also find him out and he is one to treat lightly with unless there are very solid indications from the betting ring. Therefore, preference goes to Sentireo Rosso, who came up against a couple of useful types last time. The likelihood of a strong pace will play to his strengths and, considering that his latest start came after only a three-day break, the longer rest in between should have done him the power of good. The son of Intidab has proved that he does not mind a little give underfoot and, as the trip poses no problems for him, Sentireo Rosso has plenty in his favour as he bids to enhance his profile today.
