In depth
Verdict
A competitive field goes to post for this contest but the main protagonists appear to be Barbilyrifle, Danifah and Whitgift Rock and we will take a chance on Barbilyrifle. The filly from the Hugie Morrison yard was a fair third behind Mustajed last time out and she need only improve a little to score in this easier affair. Danifah rates the main danger on his latest second behind Harry up but he has had plenty of chances in a similar grade and for that reason is opposed here. Whitgift Rock was a fair fifth ion his debut behind Leicester Square and is sure to improve so is worth as cautionary look in the market. Penel has shown a modicum of ability in three runs but has weakened in the closing stages on all his runs so he may need more time to be seen at his best. Of the remainder Nick's Grey and Perfect Distance are from top yards and are others to keep an eye on in the market.
