Made In France, Urowells and Soviet Joy look the three to concentrate on in this seller with the tentative vote going to Made In Japan. The selection would eat these for breakfast on his best form of a couple of seasons ago and he hinted at a return to form last time when second behind Benefit Fund. That form has since been franked and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Urowells rates the main danger hails from a shrewd yard and is dropping in grade so should be noted in the market. Soviet Joy is from a yard in form and could go well but he barely sees out the trip and he is overlooked for that reason. Of the remainder Sistema won well last time out but will find this harder under his penalty and for the winner we return to Made In Japan.
