    Verdict

    Michael Jarvis, who plotted the Chester Cup success of Anak Pekan from as far back as last November, never waste's an opportunity at the racecourse and looks to have found Soyuz a good opening to boost his confidence; possibly at the main expense of Jools, will struggle to reverse recent form with the selection on these terms. As will Impersonator who, being by Zafonic, will not mind a little cut in the ground but has a fair bit to find on Sandown form. Cheese 'N' Biscuits has also got a fair bit to prove in this company and is for the brave only. Therefore, even though his price will reflect his chance, Soyuz looks the safest option now that he has got the benefit of a couple of runs behind him this season.
