Meer Kat is given a narrow vote in a race where form is thin on the ground, Hadron Collier and Sumon Up Theblood are similar types and look to be the main dangers. Roger Charlton's charge was quite green on his debut and didn't get the best of starts. However he was staying on well enough in the closing stages before finishing eight behind Flawed Genius. There should be any amount of improvement to come and he is expected to go close. Hadron Collier waqsn't beaten far behind Tanweer on his Newmarket debut and is another that come on for the run. Summon Up Theblood only went down by four lengths in a hot Goodwood maiden last time out and is another that will know more this time around. Sainglend also comes into this category, but Meer Kat is the one we think can improve the most and he gets our vote.
