      Verdict

      Munich led for a long way in a better race at Plumpton last month and this is his first appearance in a seller. He would have been the selection had this race been over 2m but the extra may just expose his stamina limitations, even on this sharp track. Dot's Delight was engaged at Leicester yesterday but would have solid claims in this grade if coming here instead and makes more appeal than Pobs Trophy. The vote, however, goes to BON SPIEL who will get every assistance from the saddle and wouldn't be far away if reproducing the form of a recent fourth at Plumpton.
