Verdict

Sky Jockey looked to have a fair chance of making a successful reappearance here a fortnight ago but found Prepared too strong. Today's extra furlong is in his favour and he should get into the frame again. Murasil finished around four lengths behind the runner-up that day after missing the break badly. He was staying on at the finish but he's had eleven starts without winning and doesn't look one to trust. Carbon Dating is comfortably the pick on international ratings despite having never won a race. His over-optimistic connections entered him in the Irish 2000 Guineas and the Derbies at Epsom and the Curragh where he was a 150/1 chance in each. His last run was in a Ffos Las maiden in July when beaten three lengths into third. TIDES RISE (NAP) had four runs at Chantilly and was never worse than fourth. He made his debut here a fortnight ago and though unable to cope with easy winner Nathr time may tell he was attempting the impossible against the year-older winner and he can go one better.
