This looks a good opportunity for the Simon Callaghan-trained COLOUR OF MONEY who is put forward to get the better of Replicator and Vanadium. The selection is a well-bred 4-year-old who wasn't beaten far last time out behind Teen Ager. The yard have a decent strike-rate on the all-weather and he looks to hold solid claims. Replicator would have claims on the pick of his form but he hasn't won for a while and the trainer is having a quiet spell. Vanadium managed his only all-weather success over this course and distance but he looks high enough in the weights at present and on that basis we will take him on. The draw is also a massive negative, which is also the case for Jessica Wigmo. We will therefore stick with Colour Of Money as the one to beat.
