Verdict
SINBAD THE SAILOR went close over 2m1f at Bath before scoring over hurdles in May. He should be thereabouts at the finish while Cavalieri won over 2m at Wolverhampton in November but has not raced since last year. Balmusette won over 1m6f at Redcar recently and Desktop scored over the same trip at Wetherby on his penultimate start and has also won over today’s distance before. It’s been some time since Nafaath last raced on the Flat but he’s not badly treated on his best form of 2014 while Rosette may finish a lot closer stepping up in distance with a leading amateur on board.
