In depth

Verdict

A particularly open betting contest with no less than five last-time-out winners in opposition including hat-trick seeking Adaleel. Alec Stewart's charge is clearly on the upgrade but a 10lb rise for his latest success looks harsh and he may now be in the handicapper's grip. Both Sebring and Gracia have much more to do at this level having landed weak affairs last time while Photo Flash has stamina limitations so the vote goes to Traveller's Tale. The son of Selkirk is only 4lb higher than when showing improved form to land a C&D victory last time and looks capable of further progress having been lightly campaigned. The Peter Harris-trained three-year-old should give a good account in a difficult contest.
