In the finale we will opt for Rangoon ahead of Majors Cast and Text. Looking at the field. Inescapable has show little in two starts so far. Majors Cast was a promising third on his Warwick debut and holds a shout in a race that lacks strength in depth. Rangoon showed promise on his first three starts, although he was disappointing last time. However, the going should be of no concern to him and the handicapper has apportioned a rating of 78, which is the highest in the line-up. Mainly on that basis, he gets the vote. Witches Broom's best run from three starts was achieved at today's trip and Khafayif showed promise on the second of her three starts to date, but needs to act quickly to begin justifying her 240,000-euros purchase price. That said, as a very well-bred daughter of Swain, she should continue to improve. Text finished just ahead of her at Lingfield last time and can confirm that form and go well here in what is, as we say, a modest affair. Overall, though, we will side with Rangoon.
