Verdict
This bunch have yet to manage a single win between them so just a token vote goes the way of BELOVED KNIGHT. The latter produced a strong finish over 1m1f at Lingfield last time when giving the impression this extra distance would suit. Medici Oro has been placed over shorter trips including at Bath last month and can figure if staying while Sunday Best may finish closer on today’s surface having managed a fourth in heavy going at Salisbury last time. Isle Of Man was already beaten when unseating in the closing stages on the all-weather last week but remains one of the least exposed.
