Verdict

Another open affair in which Topatoo, Arran Scout, Rashida and Efidium look to be the leading lights and the vote is given to Arran Scout. The selection did not go down without a fight last time when he was narrowly beaten by Charlie Tango at Redcar. He is clearly on good terms with himself at present and with conditions to suit he looks the one to beat. Topatoo rates the main danger as she is an unexposed filly who lost no caste in defeat when a good second behind Dabbers Ridge at York. The step-up in trip should suit but she may be best with more cut in the ground and although she is respected we will narrowly pass her over. Rashida was well-beaten over a longer trip than this at Lingfield last time but the drop to a mile should be positive for her here. There may be more to come from her and it would be no surprise to see her go well. Efidium ran as though he might coming to hand last time behind Tiber Tiger so he is another to consider, but for the winner we will stick with Arran Scout.
