Verdict

There are some nicely bred newcomers here including Bint Sesaro and One Wild Night, but on this occasion we will stick with the form horse and that is Giovanna. Richard Phillips has a good batch of bumper horses this season and the selection showed plenty of determination to beat Full As A Rocket here last time. The third was well behind and has since run a decent race at Carlisle so form does have a solid look about it. Lucy Normile runs both Aba Gold and Bint Sesaro, the latter looks the pick on breeding as he is related to numerous flat winners including decent miler King Of Clubs. One Wild Knight is trained by John Spearing who does well with his rare bumper horses and daughter of Rakaposhi King should be noted for any market moves. The same applies to the Peter Beaumont pair Eileens Comet and Rosina Copper, but without that information we have to side with Giovanna.
