In depth
Verdict
The strong vote is given to Spriggan with Aussie Cricket posing as the biggest danger. The selection has been catching the eye of late finishing third on his seasonal reappearence at Folkestone before running into second spot in a competitive race at Goodwood last time out. He is still unexposed with only three runs under his belt and if improving once more he will be difficult to beat. Aussie Cricket can be given credit for his two placed efforts on the all weather recently and can run into a place if tranforming the form on turf. Of the others Rangali Belle can improve as he has only one racecourse appearence to date and he was not disgraced either as he finished mid division in a strong field so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Spriggan.
