Verdict

Soldiers Quest gets the confident vote in the opener with Sowdrey and Master'n Commander rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Challis and with nominal improvement likely from a good draw he is hard to oppose. The fact that his yard continue in good form is another big plus. Sowdrey rates the main danger on his debut fifth behind Aqmmar but that was 224 days ago and the suspicion is he may just need the run. Master'n Commander is another that could go well on his best form but he has had plenty of chances and looks vulnerable to a less exposed type. Of the remainder, Beau Torero will be handicapped after this run and that is where his future may lie and with this in mind for the winner we return to Soldiers Quest
