Verdict

Tencendur gets the vote here with Callisto Moon and Oedipuss rated as the main dangers. The selection has not done anything wrong on each of his three starts and he looks to have been found a decent opportunity here to finally get his head in front. The extra furlong should work in his favour and with ground conditions also to suit he is taken to lead them home. Callisto Moon was only headed in the final strides at Kempton last time when finishing second behind Cherri Fosfate. The front two pulled well clear of the rest that day so the form looks rock solid and he has got an obvious chance. Oedipuss hails from a stable in top form and this colt is nicely bred so he is one to note in the market. Benllech has shown some fair form and is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Tencendur.
