In depth
Verdict
Another open affair that sets plenty of posers for finding a win only bet. Currency and Fly More have been kept very busy of late and are respected as the best hopes of their stable, but the race may come around too soon for the former. Whereas the latter faces a much stiffer task than he was faced with last time out. Therefore the TEAMtalk vote goes to Sir Sandrovitch, who may not be the most consistent of performers but could represent more value than the heavily penalised Croeso Croeso, who has risen 25lb in the ratings since the start of the season.
