Verdict
Mondul, Papillon de Iena and Chockdee look the three to concentrate on in another tough race to call and the tentative vote goes to Papilon de lena. The selection won well last time out when defeating Vingis Park and with conditions in his favour he is taken to take the step up in class in his stride. Mondul rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing last time. However this softer ground could well bring about some improvement. Chockdee was a fair fourth behind Late Claim last time and is another highly regarded sort who could improve. Of the remainder Mister Arjay has won his last two races in good style but for the winner we return to Papilon de Lena.
