Verdict

Fyodor gets the call here ahead of Rydal and Magic Glade. Fyodor has very much been catching the eye of late, having won three of his last four races and, still competitively weighted to our way of thinking, this course and distance winner can go well today. Dancing Mystery was around five lengths behind the selection over course and distance last time, which was a disappointing run, but is eight pounds better off, while Rydal is eight pounds better off for a length-and-a-half, so the selection will need to find improvement. On literal form from that race, Pawan is now weighted to beat them all! Quiet Times is back to a good mark from 13 months ago, while Trinculo can be given a chance on winning Turf form, although his all-weather record is not so good overall. Magic Glade is another that is back to a winning mark from 12 months ago, so is respected, while Tartatartufata is on a winning Turf mark and his general all-weather record is sound. However, we will side with Fyodor.
