In depth
Verdict
Danawi has been running consistently well of late and has to be respected but he may have to settle for minor honours again with preference for Moves Goodenough, who gets the vote ahead of High Class Problem. The last mentioned lost no caste in defeat behind the in-form Nan Jan at Lingfield on the Polytrack last time and has solid claims if able to reproduce that form back on turf. Milton Bradley's Trevian has been running consistently well of late and deserves to get his head in front but may again have to settle for minor honours. Gary Moore's Prince Valentine is hard to recommend on recent evidence, while stablemate Ciccone has more solid claims but looks booked for a place at best. The vote then goes to Andy Turnell's Moves Goodenough who was good value for his win at Bath last time and has solid claims off just a 4lb higher mark today.
