Verdict
Stop On gets the vote in the opener with Thunderstruck and The Riddler others to consider. The selection showed plenty of promise on his debut when third behind Flight Plan. He was doing his best work at the finish that day over 7f so this step-up in trip should suit and he looks the one to beat. Thunderstruck looked in need of the experience on his debut at Redcar but he did show signs of ability and he should come on plenty for the experience. The Riddler is a strapping colt and he may be seen to better effect in time, but he ran a fair race on his debut and he is another that gave the impression he would improve for the run. Transmission has had plenty of chances and the percentage call is to take him on. All of which returns us to Stop On who can land the prize.
