Signatory gets the vote here with Chantaco and Linnet rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Sassao and off what remains a fair mark and under conditions that suit she will be hard to beat. Chantaco rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Formulise especially as this longer trip is sure to suit. Linnet is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has looked vulnerable off this mark in the past and looks opposable on that basis. Alessano is another worthy of respect but although he travelled well last time out he found less than expected off the bridle and is one to have reservations about. Of the remainder Cross Time is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Signatory.
